title: Rural health centre use: variation with distance and disease.
abstract: Utilisation of a rural health centre in respect to distance and disease is examined. Some deficiencies in health care provision are revealed, and strategies implemented to correct these through aid post-orderlies (APO) inservice, maternal child health (MCH) reorganisation and health education are outlined. This type of survey is easy to conduct, uses data routinely collected and can help plan improvement of health services.
