    A Critical Appraisal of Modern Healthcare Delivery in Nigeria
    (International Journal of Capacity Building in Education and Management (IJCBEM), 2022-02-02) Ogye Danlami Okolo; Odo Emmanuel
    The modern healthcare delivery was introduced in Nigeria by Missionaries and was advocated by the colonial administration. In its years of existence, it was effective and actually met the health needs of the populace. However, in the last few years the quality and services in the country had declined to the extent that citizens with complicated health problems are now compelled to travel outside the shores of the country for proper medication. The paper examines the history and structure of modern health care delivery in Nigeria and as well examines its importance on the wellbeing of the people. It also examines some of the challenges that have bedevilled modern healthcare delivery in the country. Significant of these challenges are poor funding of the health sector; dearth of qualified health personnel, inadequate health facilities, prevalence of corrupt practices within the health sector among others. The paper recommended amongst others, an increase in budgetary allocation for the health sector, training and re training of health personnel in Nigeria for effective service delivery.

    National Health Insurance Scheme and Civil Servants’ Satisfaction with Health Services in FCT, Abuja Nigeria
    (International Journal of Public Administration and Management Research (IJPAMR), 2022-02-02) Odo Emmanuel; Ogye Danlami Okolo
    National health insurance scheme provides a platform for mobilizing revenue for health services and enhances universal health care in Nigeria. In addition, civil servants’ satisfaction with health services under the scheme helps in identifying gaps and provides evidence toward strengthening the scheme. This study assessed enrollees’ (civil servants) knowledge about the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and satisfaction with health services provided under the scheme. The paper attempted to highlight the importance of NHIS and the attitudes of civil servants towards the scheme in FCT, Abuja Nigeria especially during the ongoing war against covid-19 pandemic and other related diseases. The paper utilized mainly secondary sources through the review of relevant literatures. The paper found that civil servants in FCT, Abuja have sound understanding of the scheme, but the echelon of satisfaction with quality of health services available is not commendable. Therefore, the paper recommends that there is an urgent need to improve on all areas of quality of services to improve satisfaction with care among civil servants in the scheme.
