Rural Heart Health and the EECP Access crisis (B) | Jack Clifford | What About Rural Health

When Jack Clifford was told he needed open-heart surgery after being diagnosed with a blocked "widowmaker" artery, he chose a path few patients ever hear about. His decision led him to Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP). a little-known, non-invasive therapy that changed his life and sparked a mission to make it accessible to others. In this episode, Jack shares his remarkable journey, explores why EECP remains one of medicine's most underutilized therapies, and discusses what limited access means for patients, especially those in rural and underserved communities. It's a conversation about healthcare, hope, and the questions every patient deserves to ask. If you'd like to learn more about EECP therapy or find an EECP provider near you, visit eecplocator.com .

Who Pays for Rural Health (B) | Dr Laz Ude Eze | What About Rural Health

In this episode of Rethinking Rural Health Financing, we confront a difficult but necessary question: who truly pays for rural health? What begins as a viral budget controversy quickly unfolds into a deeper exploration of how healthcare is actually funded in Nigeria. Joined by public health expert Dr. Laz Ude, Public Health Physician, Founder and CEO of TalkHealth9ja, we uncover a complex system where funding comes from multiple sources - government, donors, and insurance - but in reality, the largest burden falls on everyday people. From out-of-pocket payments to hidden costs like transportation, lost income, and delayed care, rural communities are paying far more than what appears on paper. #whataboutruralhealth [https://whataboutruralhealth.com/] #podcast [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/podcast] #healthequity [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/healthequity] #ruralhealth [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/ruralhealth] #interview [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/interview] #healthcare [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/healthcare] #healthfinancing #podmatch [https://podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/chinasaimo] Want to be a guest on What About Rural Health?™?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
