Abstract
The objective of the paper is to examine the methods of keeping medical records in medical institutions in Nigeria and the limitations of present practices of record keeping to the study of various aspects of the spatial pattern of health problems in the country. There are suggestions of the type of additional information to be recorded about patients and methods of storage so that records at our health institutions can be more useful in understanding the health problems and needs of the country.
