and family medicine clinic at the PHC, Pakoto were recruited. A structured, interviewer-administered questionnairethe
patient satisfaction questionnaire (PSQ-III) was used. Data analysis was done using Epi Info 7.0.9.7 version.
Results: The average overall mean score was higher in the eye clinic (3.7±0.4) than the family medicine clinic
(3.5±0.3) and mean difference was statistically significant (p=0.004, t=-2.876). Most listed areas of dissatisfaction by
respondents in the eye clinic were waiting period (17.2%) and number and visiting days of doctors (19%). However,
at the family medicine clinic the most listed areas of dissatisfaction were all aspects of medical care (17.7%),
electricity (17.7%) and toilet facilities (14.7%). There was significant association between income and general
