The problem statement focused on issues arising from a lack of critical examination of health records collection, storage, and retrieval practices, including the use of untrained personnel, incompetence, and inadequate accommodation.

A descriptive survey design was used with a population comprising health records staff and other employees from four hospital departments. Random sampling selected 108 participants. Data collection relied on a self-structured questionnaire with personal data in Section A and aspects of the problem in Section B. Percentage frequency distribution tables analyzed data. The study found the hospital primarily uses manual storage (76%), manual sorting for retrieval by hospital number (82%) or patient name (4%), and interviews (60%) for data collection. Major factors affecting health records collection were lack of patient cooperation, insufficient papers for registration, and patient health status.
