Design a healthcare access solution for people living in remote villages.

People in remote villages may be hours from the nearest clinic.

Real-world context

People in remote villages may be hours from the nearest clinic. Distance, cost and a shortage of trained staff mean treatable conditions become emergencies.

The challenge

Design a healthcare access solution for people living in remote villages. Study who is affected, dig past the obvious symptoms to the real root causes, and design a solution that could actually work in the real world. There is no single correct answer — what matters is the quality of your thinking, the stakeholders you consider, and how clearly you justify your chosen direction.

Reflection prompts

  • Who is most affected by this problem, and how did you account for them?
  • What is the single biggest risk to your solution working?
  • Which assumption, if wrong, would break your whole idea?
