Utilisation rate PHC <5 years
| Definition | Number of visits per person <5 years to PHC health facilities per year. Calculated from PHC headcount <5 years divided by population <5 years.
DEFINITION: The rate at which services are utilised by the target population, represented as the average number of visits per person per year in the target population. The denominator is Census-derived population estimates.
USE: To determine overall utilisation patterns, in particular relevant for the move towards equity in the health sector.
COMMENTS: Utilisation may depend on many things like accessibility, acceptably and appropriateness of services, as well as the legacy of apartheid with its gross inequity in resources and personnel. |
