Nigeria’s healthcare crisis is too big for startups to handle
- Leke Oshunniyi stated that Nigeria's healthcare system is comparable to that of Somalia and Afghanistan.
- In Lagos, 555 women die per 100,000 births, compared to 25.7 in Malaysia.
- Nigeria accounts for 29% of all maternal deaths worldwide, with one in 100 women dying during labor.
The dire state of Nigeria's healthcare system underscores the urgent need for comprehensive reforms in both tax policy and public health funding. Without addressing these foundational issues, any technological advancements in healthcare will remain superficial and inadequate to meet the needs of the population.
