facilities (PHCFs) to cover the largest area of the study area and the service area that can be
accessed. This study was conducted to find out the sufficient number of primary healthcare centers
required to provide healthcare services to the entire community. Data was obtained by applying

demographic standards for primary care facilities. The study area needs 41 additional centers to
cover the shortfall in service provision per the demographic and geographic standards. A
significant deficiency in the number of primary care centers found in the study area compared to
the large population at the geographical and demographic standards level
