This paper concerns the availability of healthcare facilities including primary health centers (PHC), sub-centers and community health centers in the Majuli region, Jorhat district of Assam, India. Majuli Consist of two development blocks i.e. Ujoni Majuli and Majuli blocks. The paper is based on secondary data and analyses are done in GIS environment. It is identified that primary health care centers are not equally distributed in Majuli development block but instead of PHC there are lots of sub-centers and community health centers are available in the study area. Again availability of sub-centers is found satisfactory in both of these blocks. The number of community health centers is very low in the whole region of Majuli. The result also shows served areas of primary health center in Ujoni Majuli block (77.13%) is much higher than the Majuli Development block (43.70%), again for sub-center and community health center, it is found satisfactory than the PHC service area in both of the blocks.

Referral System for Individual Health Services states that health services are conducted in stages according to medical needs, starting from basic, second, and then third level health . The BPJS standard on the referral ratio limitation from health center to hospital is 15%. A total of 22 out of 32 health centers (69%) in Depok have referral ratios above 15%. This study was to identify factors infl uencing high referral ratios at health centers in Depok..This study was implemented from March to October 2017 by cross sectional design. The population was 32 health centers in Depok. Samples were health centers in Depok registered by BPJS as FKTP. There were 12 health centers, each 6 with high and low referrals. The sample of health workers were providers such as: doctors and dentist, heads of health centers and health offi ces. The results showed that the most referenced disease was a refraction disorder, unspecifi ed. Most primary health care with a high referral ratio (> 15%) did not have the required compulsory services at the primary health care, especially emergency and laboratory services (66.7%). The type of health personnel was less than that at Permenkes 75 of 2014 (83.3%). Facilities and infrastructure in health center were out of standards. Less drugs supplies also affected to referral. Suggestion: The government needs to provide more types of services, numbers of health workers and infrastructure in order to support the capacity of the health centre as well as better services . Abstrak Sistem Rujukan Pelayanan Kesehatan Perorangan menyebutkan bahwa pelayanan kesehatan dilaksanakan secara berjenjang sesuai kebutuhan medis, dimulai dari pelayanan dasar ke pelayanan kesehatan tingkat kedua berlanjut ke tingkat ketiga. Standar BPJS mengenai batasan rasio rujukan puskesmas ke pelayanan kesehatan tingkat lanjut maksimal 15%. Sebanyak 22 puskesmas (69%) dari 32 puskesmas di Kota Depok yang memiliki rasio rujukan diatas 15%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran faktor yang mempengaruhi rasio rujukan tinggi di puskesmas Kota Depok. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret sampai Oktober 2017. Metode yang digunakan adalah cross sectional (potong lintang). Populasi penelitian sebanyak 32 puskesmas di Kota Depok. Sampel yang diambil adalah puskesmas Kota Depok yang telah terdaftar pada BPJS sebagai FKTP sebanyak 12 puskesmas, 6 puskesmas dengan rujukan tinggi dan 6 puskesmas dengan rujukan rendah. Sampel tenaga kesehatan yang diwawancara meliputi pemberi pelayanan (dokter dan dokter gigi), kepala puskesmas dan Kepala Bidang Yankes Dinas Kesehatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyakit yang paling banyak dirujuk adalah disorder of refraction, unspecifi ed (kelainan refraksi mata). Sebagian besar puskesmas dengan rasio rujukannya tinggi (>15%) tidak memiliki kelengkapan pelayanan yang wajib ada di puskesmas terutama pelayanan gawat darurat dan laboratorium (66,7%). Jenis tenaga kesehatan kurang dari jumlah yang ada berdasarkan Permenkes 75 tahun 2014 (83,3%). Sarana dan prasarana belum sesuai dengan standar yang harus ada di puskesmas. Obat-obatan yang tidak tersedia di puskesmas menjadi salah satu alasan melakukan rujukan. Saran: Pemerintah harus selalu berupaya melengkapi jenis pelayanan, tenaga kesehatan dan sarana prasarana di puskesmas, agar kemampuan puskesmas dalam memberikan pelayanan menjadi lebih baik lagi.

Abstract Background Rural access to health care remains a challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa due to urban bias, social determinants of health, and transportation-related barriers. Health systems in Sub-Saharan Africa often lack equity, leaving disproportionately less health center access for the poorest residents with the highest health care needs. Lack of health care equity in Sub-Saharan Africa has become of increasing concern as countries enter a period of simultaneous high infectious and non-communicable disease burdens, the second of which requires a robust primary care network due to a long continuum of care. Bicycle ownership has been proposed and promoted as one tool to reduce travel-related barriers to health-services among the poor. Methods An accessibility analysis was conducted to identify the proportion of Ugandans within one-hour travel time to government health centers using walking, bicycling, and driving scenarios. Statistically significant clusters of high and low travel time to health centers were calculated using spatial statistics. Random Forest analysis was used to explore the relationship between poverty, population density, health center access in minutes, and time saved in travel to health centers using a bicycle instead of walking. Linear Mixed-Effects Models were then used to validate the performance of the random forest models. Results The percentage of Ugandans within a one-hour walking distance of the nearest health center II is 71.73%, increasing to 90.57% through bicycles. Bicycles increased one-hour access to the nearest health center III from 53.05 to 80.57%, increasing access to the tiered integrated national laboratory system by 27.52 percentage points. Significant clusters of low health center access were associated with areas of high poverty and urbanicity. A strong direct relationship between travel time to health center and poverty exists at all health center levels. Strong disparities between urban and rural populations exist, with rural poor residents facing disproportionately long travel time to health center compared to wealthier urban residents. Conclusions The results of this study highlight how the most vulnerable Ugandans, who are the least likely to afford transportation, experience the highest prohibitive travel distances to health centers. Bicycles appear to be a “pro-poor” tool to increase health access equity.
