Access to healthcare has been one of the world’s problems; the world health organization estimated that 800 million people spend 10% of their income on healthcare services, pushing around 100 million into extreme poverty and making them live under 1.90$ per day. In Africa, only 615 million people have access to healthcare services out of 1.21 billion people, which equals 48% of the community.

When we talk about access to healthcare services, this includes lack of insurance and affordability, lack of transportation to the hospital, lack of quality healthcare, and lack of medical attention. It is estimated that 67% of the world’s population finds it hard to get to the hospital.

This is caused by different things, such as infrastructure, and transportation facilities, which led to a lack of medical attention lack of quality healthcare. In Low income and middle-income countries, the communities suffer. In Nigeria, 48.5% of the population lives in rural areas, as stated by the world bank.

Rural areas in Nigeria are characterized by poor road infrastructure and poor healthcare facilities; This comes with the affordability in Africa. Lack of affordable health insurance led to low-quality education; it is estimated that in developing countries, 2.9 die because of a lack of healthcare services, as stated by the Lancet global health. In Nigeria, 11.188% is the mortality rate yearly. One of the leading causes of this death is neonatal disorder, anemia, malaria, and diarrhea.

These diseases can be cured, but Nigeria’s lack of access to healthcare and affordability makes it hard. It is estimated that 15.1% of Nigerians spend much on healthcare. Besides this amount of money that Nigerian are spending on healthcare services, it is estimated that 67 of 10000 people die due to low quality of healthcare. This includes medication errors, inappropriate or unnecessary treatment, and inadequate or unsafe clinical facilities.
