The Reality of Rural Healthcare in Nigeria
Millions of Nigerians in rural communities lack access to basic healthcare. With over 90 million people living in rural areas:
80% of 30,000 Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs) are dysfunctional, leaving communities without reliable medical services.
The doctor-patient ratio stands at 1:6000, worsened by the "Japa Syndrome" (mass migration of healthcare workers).
Over 70% of healthcare costs are paid out-of-pocket, making medical care unaffordable for many families.
These challenges create healthcare exclusion, where preventable diseases go untreated, maternal and child health suffers, and life expectancy remains low.
