The results from respondents perception of the quality of healthcare service showed that there were significant variations in the level of satisfaction with healthcare facilities (p<0.05) across neighbourhoods types, the significant variations were observed in: Convenience (p= 0.000); Comfort (p=0.000); Safety (p=0.000); Reliability (p=0.000); Adequacy (p=0.021); and Efficiency (p=0.001); while Accessibility did not vary significantly with neighbourhood type (p=0.104).The study therefore, recommends improvement of slummy neighbourhoods and rehabilitation of slum/informal settlements through collaborative efforts among stakeholders, subsidized healthcare service delivery for slums and slums/informal settlements dweller and ensuring equitable distribution of healthcare facilities in the study area. | |
