Abstract :
The governance of rural health infrastructure
depends on the spatial decisions of local and health
policymakers during the process of their provision. This
study analysed fifty-one public rural health
infrastructures in three Local Government Areas
(LGAs) in Ondo State such as Akoko North West, Ondo
East, and Irele. These LGAs were sampled randomly
from the three Senatorial Districts in Ondo State using
the Nearest Neighbour Analysis to determine if the
existing locations were effectively governed. The findings
show variations in the spatial patterns of the rural health
infrastructures. The study suggested the provision of
additional infrastructure in each LGA to address
unequal access. It also recommended the designing of an
infrastructure plan to guide future spatial decisions.
