        abstract = {This study examines the accessibility and quality of healthcare services in Chamarajanagar District, Karnataka, focusing on patient experiences and identifying gaps in service delivery. Utilizing primary data collected from 100 respondents across various healthcare centers, the research analyzes demographic characteristics, accessibility, facility quality, and overall satisfaction. The findings reveal notable disparities in both access and service quality among different types of healthcare centers. While private clinics, urban health centers, and community health centers received higher satisfaction ratings and were perceived to provide superior services, government hospitals and primary health centers were often rated as average, with many respondents reporting limited accessibility and moderate satisfaction. Chi-square analysis confirms a significant association between the type of healthcare center and patient experiences. The study highlights the urgent need for targeted improvements to public healthcare infrastructure, service quality, and accessibility, particularly in primary health centers, to ensure equitable and satisfactory healthcare outcomes for all district residents.},
