This is a less figure compared to a 1988 WHO report showing 60-90 % of the population with access. (The World Drug Situation, WHO, Geneva, 1988).

• The percentage of the population within 1 hr walking distance to the public health facility, private health facility and private retail outlet is 50%, 70% and 80% respectively.

• 60% the public health facility, 30% private health facility and private pharmacy have essential medicines available.

• 60, 30 and 50% of the population can afford essential medicine at public health facility, private health facility and private pharmacy respectively.
