Primary Healthcare in Nigeria: Overview Challenges and Prospects is a well-intended effort to explore the current health system in Nigeria in the context of the 21st Century. It provides a historical background to the Nigerian healthcare system identifies the major challenges and provides rich information on how to improve the health care system in Nigeria. It brings into focus Nigeria’s struggle to improve primary healthcare delivery and how those efforts have not improved the peoples’ health in Nigeria. It also explains how the lack of an effective primary healthcare delivery system promotes medical tourism and causes loss of national revenue to foreign health care systems.
This book clearly identifies the basic challenges affecting healthcare delivery such as poor infrastructure underfunding lack of research and community involvement inadequate labor force management and development lack of true leadership and accountability in public office poor health promotion and education strategies and a fragile public-private sector partnership in healthcare delivery.
Primary Healthcare in Nigeria draws examples from other countries which have improved their health systems to show that the solutions to Nigeria’s healthcare problems rest in the hands of leadership committed to the nation’s good and wellness. The book is intended to give public health students a clearer perspective about Nigeria’s health system and how it impacts peoples’ lifespan wellness and national development. It is also a good resource for public health professionals to understand and embrace the global view of public health. It then challenges them to work toward a better healthcare delivery system.
