This research was conducted to assess the impact of health care statistics on health care planning in health care delivery among the staff of the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex. Statistics is the scientific method for collecting. organizing, summarizing, presenting, analyzing and interpreting data as well as drawing valid conclusion and making reasonable decision.
The study adopted a descriptive survey designed that was used to sample one hundred and ten (110) respondents by means of structured questionnaires. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, simple percentage and chi-square in testing the hypothesis.
