Determinants of Public Health Investment Expenditures in Nigeria: A Review
Journal Title: Journal of Social Economics - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The review article examines the determinants of public health financing in Nigeria. The paper extended the investigation to the analysis of public policies, and the roles they play on public sector finance. The author attempts to explain the state of healthcare in Nigeria and its pricing as important indices of public investment in healthcare in the country. For policymakers, the paper emphasizes the role of public financing in enhancing quality manpower, as well as how the policies they make affect their disposition to healthcare financing. Incidence and vulnerability to diseases and death are highest in developing countries, linked to low health financing by the governments of these countries. Analyzing a number of literature, income and prices are cited as the most crucial factors in public health financing and because of the lean treasuries of Nigeria, government have introduced financing options like user fees, social insurance and community financing.
