Chhattisgarh is a Eastern State of India.  The state comprised of 25.5 million people and around 12.8 million (little more than half) males as per census 2011.  The urban population was around 5.9 million in 2011 i.e. the state is urbanized around 23%.  Here below the diagnosis of any kind of Chronic Illnesses in Chhattisgarh State has been given sex wise and as per their residence too. These rates are based on one Large Scale Annual Health Survey which was conducted in the year 2010-11 for eight EAG States besides the state of Chhattisgarh State.  Here below incidence of getting diagnosed of Chronic Diseases in Chhattisgarh State have been given per one lakh (one tenth of a million) persons, males and females besides the percentage of people getting regular treatment from Government and all sources combined.   

Having Diagnosed (Per Lakh) and Percent Seeking  Regular Treatment of Any Kind of Chronic Diseases Source Wise in Chhattisgarh State of India
Chronic Diseases	Person		Male		Female
	Rural	Urban	Rural	Urban	Rural	Urban
Diagnosed for any kind of Chronic Disease	3566	6064	3609	5877	3521	6262
Getting Regular Treatment for any kind of Chronic Disease	44.7	61.2	43.0	60.7	46.5	61.8
Getting Regular Treatment from Government Source for any kind of Chronic Disease	25.6	19.2	26.9	20.5	24.3	18.0

It can be seen from above that confirmed prevalence of Chronic Illness is higher in Urban Chhattisgarh (5.9% for males and 6.3% for females) than in Rural Chhattisgarh (3.6% for males and 3.5% for females). In urban areas, females are more chronic ill than males and in rural Chhattisgarh males are marginally more chronic ill than females.  Seeking of regular treatment is much higher in urban areas than rural for both the sexes. Government Sources are not popular in Urban than rural areas.  Probably, private facilities may be better equipped as compared to Government set up in urban areas and the availability of Government facilities may be better in rural areas as compared to the private sector clinics and affordability problem may be the second best reason for rural Chhattisgarh for depending more on Government Sources.
