Background of the Study
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in global and national healthcare systems, highlighting the need for strong pandemic preparedness policies. In Nigeria, pandemic preparedness includes early warning systems, stockpiling essential medical supplies, training healthcare workers, and establishing emergency response plans. Kano State, one of Nigeria’s most populous states, faced significant challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, including overwhelmed hospitals, inadequate medical supplies, and misinformation.
Given the potential for future pandemics, evaluating the effectiveness of pandemic preparedness policies in Kano State is essential for building a more resilient healthcare system. This study aims to assess how these policies have strengthened or exposed weaknesses in the state’s healthcare system.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the presence of pandemic preparedness policies, Kano State experienced severe healthcare disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Insufficient healthcare infrastructure, delayed response measures, and poor coordination between government agencies contributed to challenges in managing the crisis. These gaps raise concerns about the state’s ability to handle future pandemics effectively.
This study seeks to examine the effectiveness of pandemic preparedness policies in strengthening healthcare system resilience in Kano State, identifying key challenges and proposing strategies for improvement.
