Determinants of health-seeking behaviour in rural district of Jasikan, Ghana: a cross-sectional study
The health-seeking behaviour of the people of Jasikan is good. The participants' sex, good service, affordability, and availability of medicines are critical service characteristics that influence the choice of healthcare providers. Managers of health facilities should consider these characteristics to remain competitive and drive positive health-seeking behaviour in the community. Facilities are encouraged to set up a functional well-being clinic and open it to the public.
