Abstract

The study examined healthcare facility delivery in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Multistage sampling procedure was employed for the study. Ile-Ife were stratified into three residential zones; core, transition, and the sub-urban. Using purposive sampling technique, five (5) residential areas were selected and the selection was based on the residential areas with highest number of residential buildings. Through this method, 34, 119 and 134 residential buildings in the core, transition and suburban zones respectively were selected for administration of questionnaire making a total of 287 respondents. Findings revealed that variation exists in the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents whereas the variation was more pronounced in the transition when compared with other zones. There is inadequate infrastructural facilities in the available healthcare facility even though respondents in the suburban zone were satisfied with utilization of available healthcare facility. Also, healthcare facility delivery increases as distance increases from the core to the transition zones. The study recommended that there is a need for equitable distribution and provision of adequate healthcare facility especially in the core and transition residential zones. Also, there is also a need to formulate sustainable policies by government for sustainable healthcare facility planning.
