Abstract

The utilisation of any social services including health services have never been equitably distributed throughout society is proved by many studies (Ray SK et al., 2011). Along with utilisation, it is also important to check the satisfaction associated with access to social services especially health services and its association with other variables. It would be interesting to examine the relationship between utilisation and satisfaction. Because the utilisation rates itself does not disclose whether the users are satisfied with public health services delivered through Primary Health Centres (PHCs) or not. In this context the present paper made an attempt to study the utilisation of public health services along with satisfaction through a comparative study. The results indicated that higher utilisation is not a sign of higher satisfaction in the context of Primary Health Centres. Further the study identified some variables like Doctor�s availability, Quality of Service, Cleanliness etc., influencing satisfaction in study area so that right decisions are taken in order to increase the satisfaction rates associated with PHCs.
