Background of the Study
Healthcare financing in Nigeria is deeply influenced by a combination of factors, including political, economic, and geographical variables. In areas like Bade Local Government Area (LGA) in Yobe State, geopolitical tensions arising from political instability and regional conflicts can significantly affect the allocation of resources for healthcare. The region has faced a history of insecurity and internal conflicts, which has impeded the efficient distribution of healthcare funds and resources (Musa & Usman, 2023). In addition to this, Bade's proximity to conflict zones in the northeast further complicates the financial strategies necessary for a sustainable healthcare system. This study seeks to analyze how geopolitical tensions in Bade impact the financing of healthcare services, with a focus on the challenges posed by such tensions to healthcare delivery.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite efforts by the federal and state governments to improve healthcare in Nigeria, regions like Bade LGA face unique challenges in financing healthcare due to persistent geopolitical tensions. These tensions, driven by political instability, regional conflicts, and economic disruptions, undermine the allocation of funds to healthcare programs. The problem of insufficient healthcare financing exacerbates the region’s already precarious healthcare system. This study will assess how such geopolitical issues have hindered the growth of an effective healthcare financing system in Bade LGA.
