Most of health center facilities are not easy to access in our community due to poor road conditions and distance travel to reach Health center and Health center facilities available are centralized and many people cannot differentiate between their functionalities i.e. dispensaries, pharmacy, Clinics and Hospitals which lead to many pregnant women to deliver either at home or at their way to health center nearby, overcrowding of patients at one health center facility which un enable them to get timely treatment, and this affect their community economically and many health center are not well mapped and identified in Open Street map by doing this will be able to Map all Health center available in Serengeti, and also many health center facilities are centralized, which lead to many part of Serengeti to lack health center due to poor planning and many lives of people who are not in town to be at risk because they cannot get the health services , By mapping all health center facilities available and differentiate their functionalities it can address our community problems and lead to good future planning for suitable places to put a health center facilities.
