    Area of Science:

    • Rural health services research
    • Public health policy and planning

    Background:

    • Healthcare access in rural areas is often limited by distance and resource availability.
    • Assessing health service utilization is crucial for identifying and addressing care deficiencies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the utilization of a rural health centre concerning patient distance and prevalent diseases.
    • To identify deficiencies in current health care provision.
    • To outline strategies for improving health service delivery.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of health centre utilization data in relation to geographical distance and disease patterns.
    • Review of implemented strategies including in-service training for aid post-orderlies (APOs).
    • Evaluation of maternal child health (MCH) program reorganization and health education initiatives.

    Main Results:

    • Deficiencies in health care provision were identified through utilization analysis.
    • Implementation of APO in-service training and MCH reorganization showed potential for improvement.
    • Health education strategies were employed to address identified gaps.

    Conclusions:

    • This survey methodology is practical, utilizing routinely collected data for health service planning.
    • Targeted interventions, including staff training and program restructuring, can improve rural healthcare.
    • Continuous assessment of health service utilization is vital for effective public health management.
