Abstract

The physical and financial access challenges that confronted caregivers of children under-five years of age contributed to delays and non-utilisation of child healthcare services in various of ways. This situation largely contributed to the inadequate child health services utilisation experienced in rural areas. Addressing these challenges could enhance child healthcare access and improve the state of child health.
