Abstract
Patient satisfaction is the extent to which the patients feel that their needs and expectations are being met by the services provided just before, during and after the course of their clinical visit. Assessment of patient satisfaction is necessary because of the need to incorporate feedback from patient surveys into service improvement plans. This study aims to assess patient satisfaction among those attending outpatient clinics in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, Anambra State.
