ABSTRACT
This dissertation explores the creation of a geodatabase and the mapping of health facilities in North-Eastern Nigeria, with a specific focus on Gombe State. The research aims to address the challenges of inadequate spatial distribution of health facilities, which hinders access to healthcare services for many residents. Utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS), this study identifies existing health facilities, analyzes their spatial distribution, and proposes potential sites for new facilities based on geospatial analysis.
Key findings indicate that the current distribution of health facilities in Gombe State does not adequately cover the population, particularly in rural areas. The study identifies critical areas that require new health facilities to improve access to healthcare. The findings are intended to inform policymakers and stakeholders in the health sector for better planning and resource allocation.
