2024 State of States Event
Charting the course of our future as a nation, the hope of a bright path to see the difference that will touch not only a few but all lives.
Theme:
Moving Primary Health Care Delivery from Sub-Optimality to Optimality
The diverse nature of the healthcare system appears to be replicated in the diverse nature of its challenges and threats. Beginning from Nigeria’s relatively stable but growing population (approximately 5.5 live births per woman, a population growth rate of 3.2% annually, and an estimated 400 million people by 2050), the demand for healthcare services is significant, and immense pressure is put on existing health infrastructure and personnel.
This pressure from a growing and, on average, poor population comes with critical implications for the extent and handling of communicable and non-communicable diseases, maternal and neonatal mortality, nutrition, and epidemic preparedness, among other things. In addition, the geographical spread of this largely poor population raises questions about the accessibility and affordability of health services.
