Abstract | The mapping of primary health care centres in Ughelli North, Warri South Local Government Areas (LGA) of Delta State was carried out. The objective is to provide Geospatial information about the distribution and accessibility of the Primary Health Care Centres in the Local Government Areas. Germain GPS was used to capture the Co-ordinates of the Health Centres which was analysed using Arc Map 9.3 (ESRI) GIS software. The multivariate analysis showed that the nearest neighbour value for Ughelli North and Warri South LGAs Rn=0.9991144 and Rn=0.665341 respectively. This results showed randomed distribution rather than clustered pattern of distribution. The importance of primary health care centres to the grass root dwellers is discussed. |
