DISTRIBUTION OF HOSPITALS IN FAGGE LGA KANO STATE OF NIGERIA
Abstract
The equitable distribution of healthcare facilities is fundamental to achieving universal health coverage and ensuring access to quality medical services for all citizens. This study titled “Distribution of Hospitals in Fagge Local Government Area, Kano State of Nigeria” examines the spatial distribution, accessibility, and adequacy of hospitals across different wards in Fagge LGA. The research adopts a descriptive and geospatial analytical design, utilizing data obtained from the Kano State Ministry of Health, hospital records, and field surveys. Geographic Information System (GIS) tools were employed to map hospital locations and analyze their spatial patterns relative to population density and infrastructural networks.
Findings reveal that hospitals and health centers in Fagge are unevenly distributed, with a higher concentration in urban and economically active zones, while peripheral areas remain underserved. Factors influencing this disparity include population distribution, government policy, and infrastructural development. The study highlights the implications of such uneven distribution on healthcare accessibility and outcomes. It recommends that health planners and policymakers implement spatially balanced health infrastructure planning, prioritize underserved communities, and improve road networks to enhance healthcare delivery and reduce inequality in access.
Keywords: Hospital Distribution, Healthcare Accessibility, GIS, Fagge LGA, Kano State, Spatial Analysis, Health Planning.
