Measuring customer satisfaction is a key performance indicator within a business and is often part of the balanced scorecard. Customer satisfaction is the best indicator of how the business looks in the future. The main objective of this study was to assess customers’ satisfaction with the health services offered at IRRH from 1st March to 31st March 2023. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the demographic characteristics of the customers who are satisfied with services provided at IRRH, to determine the percentage of customers who are satisfied with the service provided at IRRH and to identify service areas/departments that need improvement in the hospital.
