Balint","doi":"10.3109/13814788.2013.790955","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3109/13814788.2013.790955","url":null,"abstract":"Most literature published to date in the fi eld of rural medicine and rural health concentrates on North America, Australia, New Zealand and parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Europe is perceived to be mainly urban. However, 2006 data suggests that 56% of the population (Eurostat) of the European Union ’ s 27 countries live in rural areas. If we were to add the population of the West Balkans, Turkey, Moldavia and the European part of Russia to this number, it would surely only increase. The European rural family is as diverse as it is large. Rural communities have increasing numbers of elderly people as a result of longer life spans, poor rural economies and a drift of young people into the cities. The current economic crisis aff ecting the whole region appears to be impacting heavily on these rural communities. South East Europe remains one of the most underdeveloped parts of the continent. The challenges of under investment, poverty, poor education and crumbling infrastructure have been magnifi ed by signifi cant cultural, religious and racial confl ict. Whereas other parts of Europe have recognized the health and care needs of its rural communities, little has changed in this region. Access remains the overriding problem for rural communities with crumbling transport, health and social care infrastructures. Rural practitioners are beleaguered, un-empowered and not valued. They often work alone with little access to other professionals, services, diagnostics, specialists or continuing education. Their scope of practice is restricted with limits on what they can prescribe (Romanian GPs are not able to prescribe opioids in palliative care) and who they can treat (Bulgarian GPs are not able to treat children). The former Yugoslavia experienced a rapid and impressive expansion of general practice at the beginning of the 1960s; however, during and after the war it saw a sudden decline. Despite some improvement in certain countries, general practice and in particular rural general practice remains a sad backwater. Policy makers have ignored the pivotal role of general practice/family medicine and power remains in the large hospitals in the major cities and in the specialist dominated medical schools. Future success in changing the status quo will depend on a more enlightened, evidence based and socially accountable health care system. The Coordination of Croatian Family Medicine (KoHOM) is one of the most successful GP organizations in the region. It is a relatively young representative body, which has grown and gained in strength on the unrest of general practitioners over their status and knowledge. KoHOM is also represented on the Wonca Europe Council and has representatives on the boards of EURIPA, EQuiP. KoHOM was proud to be invited (at very short notice) to host, and successfully organized, the 3rd EURIPA Rural Health Forum in May 2012. As a testimonial to the importance of the event and the cooperation between the two organizations, Croatia ’ s Min","PeriodicalId":383035,"journal":{"name":"The European Journal of General Practice","volume":"415 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133714003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
