Rural communities in Africa have challenges in providing rural healthcare services. With over200 million people, Nigeria struggles to provide primary health care needs to its teeming population. Although the late Prof. Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, Health Minister of Nigeria, established primary healthcare following the Alma Ata declaration of 1978, Nigeria's rural healthcare is still a mirage. There is no access to adequately functioning immediate health care for numerous individuals and communities in Nigeria with inadequate personnel, medical equipment, and dilapidated infrastructure. Uvuru is a community in southeastern Nigeria with a health center, Uvuru Health Center (UHC), established in 1967. Functions of the health center have not been assessed or evaluated since its inception. Therefore, it is essential to determine the healthcare needs of the Uvuru people and the health center's role in addressing these needs. We conducted a study that employed a phenomenological framework to capture individual experiences using in-depth and semi-structured interviews. We recruited participants using a snowball selection method. We identified 12 potential participants; 11 responded and agreed to the discussion. Interviews were conducted using telephone, zoom platform, and text messages. Questions were based on participants health care related experiences and observations. Responses to initial and in-depth, probing, follow-up questions were recorded. Three people coded the data. We produced 136 codes that were condensed into the following six themes. (1) UHC seemed to be abandoned by the government, and its current ownership and financial status are obscure and contested. (2) Corruption at the level of the government has led to deteriorated infrastructure, looting, and unpaid labor of health workers. (3) The political insurgency in the area has created an atmosphere of fear for personal safety and undermined the facility's security. (4) The low level of political power among the Ibo people (Uvuru Health system users) has contributed to long-term poverty. (5) Private practitioners across the community are happy to provide services at high prices and have captured most of the market share (and are reluctant to support the public sector facility). (6) There are glimmers of hope in the local Uvuru Development Union (UDU) and the Uvuru community members, which are stepping up to improve the situation. Our research indicates that engaging community members may shed light on the state of health centers and relevant deficiencies of their function. Further, it can enhance building of a coalition needed to rehabilitate and revitalize the centers. These efforts can advance rural health in low-resource settings.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2009 in the subject Health - Digital Health Management, , course: Health Informatics / Information Communication Technology, language: English, abstract: Health service delivery to rural communities has always been a vexed problem for most governments in developing countries. Several factors impeding the success of government programmes in this sub-sector include corruption, inadequate supply of drugs, paucity and/poor quality of medical personnel, lack of medical equipment and facilities, cost (transportation to the hospital, medical bills) to the patients of obtaining medical attention and interference by unorthodox medical practitioners. This paper surveys the problems that inhibit provision of adequate preventive and curative health care to rural communities and suggests affordable and sustainable ways in which ICT can be used to solve these problems. Special emphasis is given to use of ICT for public enlightenment for preventive health care and also for the implementation of affordable access to curative health care.

Case Study from the year 2020 in the subject Health - Health system, , language: English, abstract: The study attempts to explore the impact and challenges of PHC delivery system with the intension of generating data for policy and planning. The goal of primary health care (PHC) was to provide accessible health for all by the year 2020 and beyond. Unfortunately, this is yet to be achieved in Nigeria and seems to be unrealistic in the next decade. The PHC aims at providing people of the world with the basic health services. Though PHC centers were established in both rural and urban areas in Nigeria with the intention of equity and easy access, regrettably, the rural populations in Nigeria are seriously underserved when compared with their urban counterparts. About two-thirds of Nigerians reside in rural areas therefore they deserve to be served with all the components of PHC. Primary health care, which is supposed to be the bedrock of the country's health care policy, is currently catering for less than 20% of the potential patients. While most PHC facilities are in various state of disrepair, with equipment and infrastructure being either absent or obsolete, the referral system is almost non-existent. The goal of the National Health Policy (1987) is to bring about a comprehensive health care system, based on primary health care that is promotive, protective, preventive, restorative and rehabilitative to all citizens within the available resources so that individuals and communities are assured of productivity, social well- being and enjoyment of living. The health services, based on PHC, include among other things: education concerning prevailing health problems and the methods of preventing and controlling them, promotion of food supply and proper nutrition, material and child care, including family planning immunization against the major infectious diseases, prevention and control of locally endemic and epidemic diseases and provision of essential drugs and supplies. The provision of health care at PHC level is largely the responsibility of local governments with the support of state ministries of health and within the overall national health policy. Private medical practitioners also provide health care at this level.
