challenges of health care delivery in an urban
environment of the study area. The objective is to assess
the variable affecting urban health care delivery in the
study area. This is achieved by examining how
accessibility affects health care delivery in the study
area. A survey design methodology was adopted in the
study. A sample size of 1600 of a urban dweller was used
for the study. Data for the study was collected through a
designed questionnaire. A stratified random sampling
technique was used in selecting urban dwellers in the
study area. A one-way analysed of variance and multi-
regression analysis (stepwise) was used in analyzing the
collected data. The findings showed a strong
relationship between urbanization and the challenges of
