In both the areas, females are more chronic ill than males.  Seeking of regular treatment is much higher in urban areas than rural.  Both Rural and Urban males are little more for regular treatment.  But Government Sources are not popular in Rural than urban areas.  Also the dependence on Government sources for treatment for chronic diseases is very less for both the rural as well as for urban areas.
