Unfortunately, distribution of these facilities is by government. The intention of this research therefore is to verify the spatial distribution of Health Care facilities considering range of walking distance as major parameters with the view of understanding the current status of the distribution of Health Care facilities in Bogoro Local Government Area and make recommendations on improving the distributions. Questionnaire, interview guide and observation methods were used to gather information from the sample population of the study area It is found that, more than 50% of the patients travel more than 5km on foot to the nearest health facility, this distance is too long especially in case of emergency and also physical planning guidelines are not considered in the spatial distribution of health facilities. It is recommended that 3km should be the minimum distance for health clinic through which patients are expected to travel in other to utilise public health care facilities because of the rugged terrain and mode of transport used and that Physical Planners, Health Administrators, and communities involved in decision taking regarding location and distribution of health facilities should collaborate
