Drivers
Illegal logging

The cash made from logging was used to pay for the medical bills of the men's families.
Inadequate access to healthcare
Doctors (especially those who specialized in certain medical practices) were not willing to work in rural areas.
Very low population to doctor ratio.
The newly implemented health insurance only covered the cost of the medical visits. Things such as transportation to the one village doctor and medication were costs that were not covered.
