Abstract: Healthcare services revolve around a major objective for providing equal distribution of quality health. Mostly basic healthcare services comprise primary healthcare services that play a major role in decreasing mortality level and major disabilities among patients. The objectives of this research paper are to study the accessibility of the healthcare services delivered at the primary health centre (PHC) level and to further analyse the disparity in the usage of the primary healthcare services in the identified districts of Odisha. The statistical tools like descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the collected data. Even after major growth in the healthcare infrastructure, there still has been a subsequent discrepancy in the usage of the services which has impacted the vulnerable masses. Sensitivity analysis was also performed on three major services comprising of maternal and child healthcare, laboratory services, and labour room for healthcare services decision making.
