Health facility revisit and its associated factors among clients utilizing public health facilities in Zanzibar: a retrospective cohort study
The findings suggest a need to enhance the efficiency of health service delivery, especially at lower levels, to reduce avoidable revisits and consequently reduce the cost per patient. The findings can also be used as a resource to inform ongoing healthcare reform in Zanzibar.
