Abstract

An increasing demand for health care services in resource constrained conditions is a challenge. The changing pattern, emergence and reemergence, and resistance developing against the pharmacological agents can be attributed to the quality of health care services in that geographic area. Universal Health Coverage is ensuring that health care services are provided to those who need without any financial hardships.  Hence homogenous distribution of health care providers in every geographic area is important. Factor such as the place of job, nature of job, salary and family supporting environment are considered important. Beside that the ease of doing medical job can help in finding the facilitators and barriers in providing continuous care.
