The municipality is served by one (1) Rural Health Unit and 11 Barangay Health Stations. The Rural Health Unit located in Bry. Uno is rendering services on medical consultation to minor operation. Major operations are referred to other hospitals in Dipolog City due to lack of modern equipment and other much needed hospital facilities. As of 2018, there are 20 barangays of the Municipality that are heavily dependent on BHS assigned in cluster areas.
The 45,339 population of as 2010 population census is served by one doctor, one nurse, 10 midwives, 2 sanitary inspectors, and 1 medical technologist. These medical personnel are within the Brgy. Uno except for the 10 Midwives that are assigned in the various barangays of the municipality.
As of 2010, the Doctor, Nurse and Medical Technologist population ratio is 1:43,339. These ratios showed that doctors and nurses in Katipunan is inadequate to meet the needs of the Katipuneros based on the standard requirement of one (1) doctor and nurse per 20,000 population.
The Midwife-population ratio accounted for 1:4,333 which is within the Department of Health standard of 1:5,000 population. The far-flung areas of the municipality are left unattended and are left to the mercy, of the high cost of private consultations in Dipolog City. The sanitary inspector to the population ratio showed also inadequacy, however, like the doctors and nurses, their services rarely reached the remote barangays except for some areas.
