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.
