In this study, attempt has been made to measure the welfare impact of public expenditure on primary health care services in rural Nigeria employing the benefit-incidence approach. Primary and secondary data were generated from various health care centres and samples selected from various localities in Ika South Local Government Area of Delta state. From the sample selected, households were decomposed into non-poor, moderately poor and core poor. An analysis of the data depicts that the non-poor benefited more from the public primary health care services. The low benefit accruing to the poor group is attributable to their relative inaccessibility to access public health care in terms of drugs and consultation. There is therefore the need for proper implementation of primary health care policies to make them more pro-poor.
