Abstract:
Households in Nigeria incur high out-of-pocket payments for health financing due to insufficient public financing sources for health. Out-of-pocket payment (OOP) in Nigeria is high, and about 75% of total health expenditure is financed directly by families without protection from financial risk. OOP expenditures are forms of health care financing, which are usually regressive and inequitable and restrict the capacity to access health care services at the point of need, especially for poor and vulnerable households and even sometimes rich households.
