BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In this era of technological advancement, there is a possibility for a fast
association of knowledge in all fields of human endeavours. The health care
delivery system of Ikpoba OkhaLocal Government is being geared towards aligning

disease is derived from the combination of two words, communicable and disease.

imparted.
