Healthcare and Economic Restructuring: Nigeria in Comparative Perspective

This book explores the intersection between healthcare delivery and national economic health, using Nigeria as case study and window into the world. Specifically, the issue this book tackles revolves around how to repair Nigeria’s dysfunctional healthcare system through the medium of a healthier economy that provides sufficient revenue to meet the healthcare needs of citizens.

"Given the rising importance of healthcare to poverty alleviation, this study is timely and likely to remain relevant for many years to come…This book will appeal to development economists and instructors who teach courses in development, policymakers, practitioners, international donors, and activists interested in healthcare access and poverty alleviation in Nigeria and Africa.” –John Mukum Mbaku, Brady Presidential Distinguished professor of economics and John S. Hinckley Fellow, Weber State University, Utah
