Rural and Remote Health was initiated in 1998 by a grant to Deakin University from the Department of Human Services, Rural Health Division, Victoria, Australia. The initial vision was to serve rural and remote communities throughout the world by providing a community forum and specific health-related information. Since then, our one-person team of journal manager has grown to include:
an international editorial board
an editor-in-Chief
regional editors
regional editorial panels
a software developer
a production editor
a Journal executive committee
an international reviewer panel

Access to information is a fundamental and universal human right. It can make the difference between prosperity and poverty, freedom and captivity, life and death. Today, access to information is severely restricted for millions of people who live in developing regions of the world, speak so-called minority languages, or do not have the economic means to pay for information they require.
Riders for Health is an international social enterprise. We manage and maintain vehicles for health-focused partners in sub-Saharan Africa. Our expertise in transport management enables health workers to deliver vital health care to rural communities on a reliable and cost-effective basis.
