dc.description.abstractHealth seeking behaviour [HSB] affects the quality of healthcare people can access. Human beings have different places where they seek their health care and doctors have different approaches, and various factors that contribute on a particular approach. Various issues behind self-prescription, self-treatment and informal consultations have been described pertaining to doctors’ HSB.

The study period is 6 weeks, data will be collected using In-depth interviews, and the target population is the medial doctors. The data collected will be analysed using various software.
