Poverty and health are intertwined. This book empirically captures the dilemma of access to health care that place households in perpetual poverty and the need to address the issue as a way of reducing the menace. Viable strategies and measures have been identified and suggested for use by both government and non-governmental organisations that would want to intervene. Empirical data on household access to healthcare facilities is carefully analysed to unearth the root causes and interrelationships between households and access to health facilities.
