[Health care centre attendance by Arab nomadic pastoralists. A case study in Kanem, Chad].
Attendence at a rural health centre in a nomadic setting was monitored over several months to gain insight into factors determining accessibility to permanent primary health facilities by nomadic people. Multiple interactions between favorable and unfavorable factors for health care seeking in a nomadic setting were identified for a health care center particularly appreciated by pastoral nomads.
