Problémy poskytování zdravotnické péče: lekce pro Nigérii

This thesis deals with the challenges of healthcare delivery in Nigeria. Although Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa in terms of GDP, it shows some of the worst healthcare outcomes, which represent a significant barrier to its economic development. The aim of this thesis is to identify the main problems of healthcare delivery in Nigeria and to propose suitable lessons for their improvement. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part defines the basic framework and identifies key healthcare challenges and their possible solutions at a general level in sub-Saharan African countries. This section serves as a starting framework for the analytical part, which focuses on specific problems of healthcare delivery in Nigeria and formulates appropriate lessons for improving the situation in the country. The thesis concludes that Nigeria has significant economic potential, however, its utilization is conditional on addressing key challenges, particularly low healthcare expenditure, an inefficient health insurance system, the emigration of healthcare workers, and a high incidence and mortality rate of malaria. Addressing these issues is essential for improving population health and supporting sustainable economic growth.
