Nigeria Health Sector
Like we have a 3-tier system of government, Different sections of the health sector are taken care of by the three tiers of government, the local government, state government and federal government.
Primary healthcare service is the function of the local government.
While the state government is responsible for overseeing the secondary healthcare system.
And as you would have guessed the Federal government stays in charge of the administration of the tertiary healthcare system.
And there are also private healthcare institutions.
About Nigeria Federal Medical Centres.
The Federal Medical Centres are established to carry out the responsibilities of the Federal government in the health sector.
Presently, Out of the 36 states in the nation, the Federal Medical Centres exist in 22 states and in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), bringing the total number to 23 all over the country.
The medical centres exist to cater for the healthcare of citizens in areas where the provision of the state government is relatively insufficient.
Federal Medical Centres are often confused for teaching hospitals by many.
Although they are the same in some cases but not always. The two differs in several ways of operation.
Federal Medical Centres always have greater capacities to cater for the various needs of the citizens at a go much more than other teaching hospitals that are not federal.
The cost of accessing Medical services at Federal Medical Centres is relatively low and affordable compared to other medical centres in the country.
Often, Federal Medical Centres charges the lowest prices for all healthcare operations.
Federal Medical Centres have the luxury of heavy and expensive Medical equipment and facilities as they are sponsored by the Federal government.
This gives them the capability to afford costlier equipment than medical institutions run by state or local governments
How Federal Medical Centres Differs From Teaching Hospitals.
In most cases, Teaching Hospitals differs from Federal Hospitals.
