Abstract:
Magister Public Health - MPH (Public Health)<br>The oral health programme in Lesotho aims to offer curative, preventive, promotive and rehabilitative oral health services. However, observations as well as annual reports suggest that oral health service utilization is poor, as most patients only attend dental clinics with advanced stages of decayed teeth which can only be extracted. The reasons for this very undesirable late utilization of oral health services have not been systematically explored and understood in Lesotho. This makes it difficult for health planners to find solutions for

Research worldwide has found the existence of factors adversely influencing Chinese communities’ access to mental health services. Stigma, shame and ‘loss of face’ have played a major role in the underutilization of mental health services by Chinese communities. However, there is little research available in Canada that examines mental health and the general adult Chinese population, particularly gender effects. The purpose of this qualitative research study was to examine Chinese women’s experiences of access to mental health services in an urban context in British Columbia. This study was to

Maternal health care services are one of the health interventions to reduce maternal and infant morbidity and mortality.
