Figure 15: Impact of Urban Sprawl on Healthcare Facilities from 1984 to 2018 in Egbeda Local Government Area V. C onclusions and R ecommendations The study has been able to determine the effect of urban sprawl on health facilities in Egbeda Local Government, Oyo State using remote sensing and geographical information system. The study also revealed that health effects of sprawl are unevenly distributed across the population. The study also shows that there is increase in the number of health facilities iin Egbeda Local Government Area from 1984 to 2018. The Threshold analysis shows that from 1984 to 2018, Thirteen (13) areas (Wards) have primary healthcare facilities while Ten (10) areas (Wards) do not have any healthcare facility. From the Road Network Analysis, Eleven (11) areas (Wards) will drive 4 minutes from facility(s) to their areas (Wards), Six (6) areas (Wards) will drive 10 minutes from their facility(s) to their various area (Wards), Three (3) areas (Wards) will drive 20 minutes from their healthcare facilities to their areas (Wards), while Ten (10) areas (Wards) will drive 30 minutes from their healthcare facility(s) to their areas (Wards). The study therefore recommends that the ministry of Health should manage the health care facilities – location and capacity using a geodatabase which will enable efficient management of existing health care facilities and effective planning of new facilities R eferences R éférences R eferencias 1.
