The above table shows that 119 714 people out of a total population of 127 304 have access to health
services through clinics in their wards. Although the picture painted here is that 94% of the municipal
population has access, there are still challenges with regard to distances that residents have to walk to the
nearest health facility as well as the standard of services rendered in the facilities.
