Challenges in caring for infectious pulmonary vascular disease (IPVD) in rural areas include limited healthcare access and diagnostic gaps. Early detection and community involvement are crucial. The use of echocardiography and artificial intelligence can enhance diagnosis and treatment. Decentralized care and telemedicine are necessary for better healthcare delivery. Ethical issues and the role of verbal autopsies in understanding mortality are also important topics.
