Here is a very good video from the Rural Health Initiative of Doctors about the life of doctors working in a rural area in South Africa.



What I am interested in knowing is whether professionals from any field (doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers) are interested in working in rural areas.

What would motivate you to work in a place like this?
What is attractive about working in rural places?
What is not attractive about working here?

I'm really curious and would appreciate it if you could also tell me what has been done, in the countries you live in, to attract more professionals to rural areas and what has been successful and what hasn't worked out well.

If you are someone already working in a rural area, please share your experiences here. Why did you decide to work there? What's wonderful about it as well as what would make living there more enjoyable and attractive.
