Problems And Achievement Of The Nigeria Health Care System

1.3 Aims and objectives

The study aimed at assessing the problems and achievements of the Nigerian health care system Specifically the study sought to:

1) Determine the extent Nigeria’s heath care system has achieved the SDGs.

2) Ascertain whether the Nigeria national health system has been strengthened through the primary health care (PHC) approach.

3) Identify the problems confronting health care system in Nigeria.

4) Determine other measures that are going to be used to improve health care delivery in Nigeria.

1.4 Research Question

a. To what extent has Nigeria’s heath care system achieved the SDGs?

b. Has the Nigeria national health system been strengthened through the primary health care (PHC) approach.

c. What are the problems confronting health care system in Nigeria?

d. How are other measures going to be used to improve health care delivery in Nigeria?

1.5 Research hypothesis

For the purpose of testing, the null hypothesis is indicated by Ho, while the alternative hypothesis is represented by Hi:

Ho:      Nigeria’s heath care system has not achieve the SDGs.

Hi:       Nigeria’s heath care system has achieved the SDGs.

1.6 Significance of the study

Health care systems are designed to meet the health care needs of target populations. There are a wide variety of health care systems worldwide. In some countries, the health care system evolved and was not expected, while in others, a concerted effort was made by governments, trade unions, charities, religious or other organizations coordinated provide planned health care services targeted to the populations they serve.  However, the result of this study will help the government reform health sector programme as well as passage of National Health Bill before the National Assembly to enable Nigeria to successfully revamp its primary health care system and implement the integrated Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (IMNCH) strategy and move closer to achieving SDgs 4 and 5 so to lead to sustainability. The result of this work will also help in illuminating the implication of poor health care system in Nigeria so that most decision makers will understand the good prospect of tackling the issue. It is held that the scheme from this research will help the government as well as the health care providers improve the Nigerian health care system.

1.7 Scope of the Study

The main focus of our concern is the question if Nigeria’s heath care system has achieved or about achieving the SDGs. To have this done efficaciously, a serious assessment of the previous successes in Nigeria’s heath care system will be done, indicating out their achievements and gains, not forget the challenges surrounding the gratification. Since this research is aimed at assessing the problems and achievements of the Nigerian health care system, consideration will be paid to the measures going to be used to improve health care delivery in Nigeria as to keep away the unrealistic deed. The respondents for this study will be obtained from General Hospital Kwuba, Abuja.
