This photo encompasses the importance of orthopaedic specialists that have introduced a high-level musculoskeletal treatment to the underserved rural populations. At a small but efficient clinic, not based in a big city or urban medical facility, a specific orthopedist passes through X-rays with a local patient who could otherwise travel hours to receive specialised treatment. These practitioners usually represent the only source of such treatment as agricultural accidents and fractures or enduring joint disorders in their areas. They adjust to a low amount of resources and do not compromise, local facilities and solve complex cases creatively and with a strong sense of community. The image symbolizes a healthcare equity in practice: making sure that geography does not dictate access to mobility and pain relief as well as quality of life.
