Résumé
The study was conducted at 11 (eleven) randomly selected villages of Rupganj Upazila in order to find out the way to promote Primary Health Care. 1186 household heads and 11 physicians interviewed for the purpose. The study revealed that more than 54.14 percent of the study population were suffering from various diseases and only 4 percent of the patients attended Primary Health Care Centre/Complex. 52% of the patients were not satisfied by the service of Primary Health Care Centre/Complex. Want of medicine, lack of good physicians and doctors, carelessness about the patients constituted the principal causes of unsatisfactory treatment. The comparative distribution of opinion of household heads and physicians about non-attendance to Primary Health Care Centres by patients is statistically insignificant (P less than 0.05) which implies that the opinions are more or less the same. Both household heads and physicians opined that supply of sufficient medicine, equipment, improvement of health education and more budget allocations are essential to make the Primary Health Care service effective.
