Part A of a two-part conversation. Continue with Part B: Who Pays for Rural Health.
In this episode of Rethinking Rural Health Financing, we confront a difficult but necessary question: who truly pays for rural health? What begins as a viral budget controversy quickly unfolds into a deeper exploration of how healthcare is actually funded in Nigeria.
Joined by public health expert Dr. Laz Ude, Public Health Physician, Founder and CEO of TalkHealth9ja, we uncover a complex system where funding comes from multiple sources – government, donors, and insurance – but in reality, the largest burden falls on everyday people. From out-of-pocket payments to hidden costs like transportation, lost income, and delayed care, rural communities are paying far more than what appears on paper.
