Medical & Prevention

The Medical & Prevention category focuses on evidence-based field medicine and public health actions implemented in ultra-rural contexts.
It documents how primary medical care, disease prevention, and early intervention reduce morbidity and mortality where access to healthcare is absent. Articles address infectious diseases, maternal and child health, hygiene, vaccination, and community education, aligned with WHO recommendations. Beyond theory, this section presents concrete medical practices carried out on the ground by trained local health agents, highlighting how prevention remains the most effective and sustainable medical act in vulnerable populations.
