dc.description.abstractThe economic growth of any country depends on the viability and sustainability of the health sector. This is because a nation of sick people may certainly not live up to the task of nationhood in the 21st century. In Nigeria, the current state of the country's healthcare system can be said to be quite worrisome because of health indicators and statistics that are appalling. Although reports has shown that successive governments in Nigeria had made several deliberate efforts to initiate health sector reforms over the past many years. However, research has also shown that the implementation of health care policies in Nigeria is faced with a number of challenges. A cursory look at the trends of reforms of the sector shows poor health outcomes and poor health indicators. It is against this backdrop that this paper examine the trends and challenges of health care policies in Nigeria. The paper argued that the Nigeria sector is bedevilled by a myriad of challenges that resulted from lack of proper planning poor policy disconnections. Conclusively, the paper suggests that there is a need for an all encompassing healthcare policy in Nigeria devoid of corruption and political reluctance.en_US
