The research aims to evaluate the availability and quality of healthcare services and facilities provided to children in this region. By analyzing data from various PHCs, the study identifies key factors influencing the accessibility and effectiveness of healthcare services. The findings highlight significant disparities in healthcare provision, emphasizing the need for policy interventions to enhance the quality and reach of pediatric healthcare services in rural areas. This research contributes to the broader understanding of healthcare economics and the critical role of primary healthcare in improving child health outcomes in Karnataka.
