| dc.description.abstract | This study examines and explains the conditions of modern health care and supporting facilities in Nasarawa State’s rural and urban environments. The study relied on published secondary data collected from statistical and administrative reports of the Nasarawa State’s Ministry of Health, Hospital Management Board as well as Local Government Areas’ Primary Health Care Department. All the collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Tables were used to provide additional descriptions and explanations. The study showed the disparity in the standard of health services between rural and urban areas. In fact the more urbanized Local Government Areas have better access to and better quality of health services when compared with predominantly rural Local Government Areas. The spatial variation in these percentages allows pinpointing spatial inequalities. The study recommends that: Decision and policy makers should correct inequalities in access and make every effort to optimize the use of scarce resources. One way to do this is focusing interventions in areas identified by this study, where impact would be greatest. | en_US |
