Sustainable Healthcare System in Nigeria: Vision, Strategies and Challenges

Unfortunately, with its current estimated population of 150 million and estimated total of 23,640 health facilities operated via a three – tiered governance structure, Nigeria is still ranked by World Health Organization at 187th position in its health system among 191 member states. This article reviewed related relevant literature which revealed that, for more than two decades ago, African countries including Nigeria have been plunged into economic crisis which seriously affected a large portion of their populations and raised social and political tensions. To achieve sustainability, there is need for transformative plans and solutions that requires cooperation among industries and the government through delivery of minimum set of cost – effective interventions, packages and revitalization of the country’s health system.
