RuDASA strives for the adequate staffing of rural health services by appropriately skilled medical staff and to be a voice for the rural doctor regarding training and working conditions. RuDASA supports the concept of scholarship schemes for health sciences students that are linked to rural districts, as a long-term strategy or recruitment and retention of doctors and other health care professionals. We advocate for provincial bursaries to be devolved to local level so that such linking can take place.
