Abstract: | This paper discusses the factors that affect the movement patterns of patients to hospitals in Ibadan, capital of Oyo State, Nigeria. It was found that the number of patients patronizing hospitals in Ibadan reduces with distance, but that the rate of decrease is not statistically significant for most of the health institutions. Furthermore, most patients choose the health institutions which they consider give 'best service', rather than the ones nearest to them. Bibliogr. |
