In all, 16 states health institutions were purposively selected on the basis of most equipped from 55 state health institutions. Data on patients' arrival and depature were observed and recorded for a period of six months. This was subjected to further analysis to identify the most important activities (critical path) and less important together with their time duration. The average total time spent in the hospital was 43 minutes but with effective capacity planning using network analysis the total time was reduced to 18 minutes and the critical path (activities) were identified to be: A-Card section, F-Medical Doctor and H-Medical Team.en_US
