Problems…
• The concentration of health units in one place.
• An absence of health units in densely populated areas,
whereas, there are several health units in less populated areas.
• In case of emergencies people living in densely populated areas
need to travel over long distances to reach a hospital and this
creates problems.
• There are no health units in the southern most parts

Solutions…
• The equal distribution of health units
• If possible the establishment of health units
