A pretested structured questionnaire was used to collect data on participants\u2019 socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, health-facility-related factors, barriers to utilization and client satisfaction. A face-to-face interview was conducted for every woman included in the study.

About 59.3% of the women were willing to continue care at the clinic. The age range was 18\u201360 with mean of 34.6\u2009\u00b1\u200912.0\u2009years. Some of the challenges the women reported in accessing well-woman services at the clinic included long waiting times (17.7%) and inadequately skilled staff (8.1%). After adjusting for significant variables in the multivariable logistic regression analysis (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)), comfortability of the waiting area (AOR: 7.71, 95% CI: 1.54\u201338.60), &lt;6\u2009months duration of accessing care (AOR: 8.82, 95% CI: 3.25\u201323.98) and friendly attitude of health workers (AOR: 27.03, 95% CI: 4.28\u2013170.83) were significantly associated with the client\u2019s satisfaction with well-woman services.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There was high satisfaction with well-woman services at the clinic, and this was associated with factors such as duration of service, comfortability of the waiting area and the attitude of health workers.
