EastSidaz and Jantarei,

You both bring very important points of view to the table. Thank you.

I agree with both of you that we need to provide enough incentive to these doctors so that they feel inspired to go to these rural places.

I think you both agree that Nepal's health care could use improvement. You both agree that the rural sector is neglected in terms of health care.

I think where you both disagree is how best to inspire doctors to volunteer their services in rural areas.

We have different options to inspire doctors to go to rural areas:
1) Praise them
2) Pay them
3) Shame them
4)  Respect them
5) Appeal to their sense of humanity
6) Appeal to their conscience

Which of the above options or combinations of options do you feel we could use? How could we do all the above? What are the methods we could use?

Maybe we should study case studies of the doctors who have gone to rural areas and interview them and see what it is that inspired them to go to these areas?

I agree with both of you that we need to provide enough incentive to these doctors so that they feel inspired to go to these places.

Any suggestions of all the different ways we could inspire the next generation of doctors, health specialists, nurses, etc to go to rural areas?
