Professor Ken Ozoilo is a medical consultant with the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) and National President, Medical and Dental Consultants’ Association of Nigeria (MDCAN). In this interview, he explains how fairer and healthier healthcare services can be achieved for every Nigerian.
In Nigeria, the larger population lives in the hinterland where there are various challenges to health care accessibility. How do you think these challenges can be mitigated to access equitable and quality health service delivery?
The first step would be to build an all-inclusive health care system that does not discriminate based on the ability to pay. Our current model is predominantly out of pocket payment and as a result, many families are unable to pay and many more are impoverished by crushing hospital bills once there is a major health challenge.
