Background of the Study
Healthcare financing plays a critical role in the provision of quality healthcare services, particularly in developing regions like Plateau State. Adequate healthcare financing ensures that health services are accessible, affordable, and sustainable for the population. In Nigeria, healthcare financing mechanisms vary and include government funding, donor support, private insurance schemes, and community-based health insurance. Plateau State, with its diverse population and healthcare needs, faces challenges in ensuring equitable healthcare access for all. This study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of healthcare financing schemes in Plateau State, focusing on the strengths, limitations, and opportunities for improvement in financing healthcare services.
Statement of the Problem
Despite various healthcare financing initiatives in Nigeria, Plateau State continues to struggle with providing affordable and comprehensive healthcare to all its citizens. Limited funding, poor allocation of resources, and a lack of efficient management in existing schemes result in reduced access to essential health services. This study will evaluate the existing healthcare financing schemes in the state to identify gaps and recommend improvements for sustainable healthcare funding.
