If you instead move a doctor to a rural area it's a much more cost effective solution because that one doctor could treat everyone in the area rather than needing to move everyone in that area out of the rural area. A new doctor in the rural area would also create jobs as they would need at least a receptionist.

That act of "creating a job" is just a money transfer from some people in the area to another. The only real thing to celebrate is the actual work being done.
