Abstract
The study is ill tended to investigate the factors that influence the demand for private and
public health services ill Addis Ababa. It is undertaken with the view of adding to the existing
meager research ill the area. It used the Welfare Monitoring Data 2004 collected by The
Central Statistical Authority of Ethiopia. It adopted the multinomial logiest regression to
measure the significance of the different individual, household and structural and supplier
variables ill the demand for health services. Both the descriptive and the econometric
analysis revealed different individual, household and structural vandals do affect the
demand for hearth services from both types of providers. one profound result of the study is
that still the majority of the residents of Addis Ababa cannot pay for health care and hence
the cost recovery scheme in the case of public health provision should be revisited. Further
the importance individuals attach to quality in all types of providers should urge the
government as well as private providers to give sufficient attention to quality considerations.
