| dc.description.abstract | available health care services. World Health Organisation predicates that accessibility remains a problem for isolated rural families in Sri Lanka and identifies the necessity of development of services in order to improve equity of access in areas which are lagging behind as a main priority (World Health Organization, 2012). Hence local level studies are timely important to identify the level of accessibility in different parts of the country to prioritise in developing required facilities. Kurunegala District was selected for this study since nearly 97% of total population is recorded as rural. | en_US |
