Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The Nigerian Constitution mandates that the government ensure the welfare of its citizens, which includes providing access to quality healthcare services. However, resource allocation in public hospitals remains a major challenge, with limited funds, inadequate infrastructure, and staff shortages undermining healthcare delivery in Bauchi LGA (Ali & Umar, 2023). This study will assess the relationship between constitutional provisions and resource allocation in public hospitals in Bauchi LGA, focusing on how constitutional law impacts the availability and distribution of resources.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Bauchi LGA, like many parts of Nigeria, faces challenges in the allocation of adequate resources to public hospitals, which affects the quality of healthcare services provided to the public. The lack of equitable distribution of resources, despite constitutional mandates to ensure the welfare of citizens, has led to inefficiencies and poor health outcomes in the region (Giwa & Bala, 2023). This study will explore how constitutional law influences resource allocation and healthcare delivery in public hospitals in Bauchi LGA.
