Background of the Study
Government policies play a crucial role in shaping the healthcare system, especially in the emergency care sector, where immediate and life-saving interventions are needed. Ebonyi State University Teaching Hospital serves as a key healthcare provider in the region, offering specialized emergency care to a diverse population. Over the years, the Nigerian government has implemented various policies aimed at improving healthcare delivery, particularly in emergency care services, through public health reforms, insurance schemes, and infrastructure development.
Despite the importance of these policies, there has been limited evaluation of their impact on emergency healthcare delivery at Ebonyi State University Teaching Hospital. The hospital, which operates as both a teaching and a healthcare institution, may face unique challenges related to policy implementation. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of government policies on emergency healthcare delivery, focusing on the hospital’s ability to respond to emergencies efficiently and provide high-quality care to patients.

- Healthcare providers at Ebonyi State University Teaching Hospital encounter significant challenges in implementing government policies in emergency care services.
- Changes or adjustments to current policies will improve the effectiveness of emergency healthcare delivery at Ebonyi State University Teaching Hospital.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on government policies and their impact on emergency healthcare delivery at Ebonyi State University Teaching Hospital. Limitations may include a limited sample size, potential biases in policy evaluation, and variations in policy implementation across different healthcare facilities.
