As you may know, ambulance network and urgent medicine is still maintained reasonably fair, so this poor man with heart attack or his family could phone this central medical center and request his immediate transportation.
Unfortunately, due to increased length of routes due to centralisation this journey still may take 3-4 hours.
I think, emergency causes like stroke or snake bite will be treated well, but many chronical diseases lack supervision and control due to this logistic problems.
Imagine: every morning you feel yourself not especially well, your liver hurts a bit. But local central hospital is located in approximately 70-80 kms and you must use public transport. Probably you'll try to just overcome your feelings. Many elders simply neglect their diseases due to their unwilling to travel.
P.S. Yes, I'd like country tourism too. It's wonderful, really.
