Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Healthcare policies in Rimi Local Government Area (LGA) of Katsina State have undergone several transformations in recent years. Despite efforts by the federal and state governments to improve healthcare access and outcomes, the effectiveness of these policies is significantly influenced by geopolitical factors. Political alignment, resource distribution, local governance priorities, and regional conflicts play critical roles in the success or failure of healthcare initiatives in Rimi LGA (Bello & Usman, 2023). Healthcare delivery in the region is often constrained by inadequate infrastructure, insufficient funding, and a lack of coordination between the federal, state, and local governments.
Geopolitical factors also shape the local healthcare agenda. For instance, ethnic and political affiliations can determine how healthcare resources are allocated, which regions receive more attention, and how policies are implemented (Abdullahi & Musa, 2024). Additionally, the local political climate and the capacity of the LGA to execute health programs influence policy effectiveness. This study seeks to explore the impact of these geopolitical influences on healthcare policy implementation in Rimi, with a focus on identifying barriers to successful healthcare delivery and proposing solutions to overcome them.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Healthcare policies in Rimi LGA have faced several challenges, particularly in terms of implementation. Geopolitical factors such as political instability, uneven resource allocation, and local governance inefficiencies have hindered the successful execution of healthcare programs. This research aims to examine how these geopolitical factors impact the implementation of healthcare policies and to offer recommendations for improving policy execution and healthcare outcomes in the area.
