More than half of Nigerians lack confidence in their ability to access and afford quality healthcare, according to the 2025 Patient Perception Survey.
Findings from the survey, contained in the Joint Annual Review Health Sector Statistical Book 2025 by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, revealed that only 48% of respondents said they feel “health secure,” confident that they can get and afford quality care if they fall sick.
This means that 52% of Nigerians do not feel health secure, highlighting a widespread concern over the accessibility and affordability of healthcare services in the country.
