Global Phenomenon of Health Equity and Inequity: Attention on Nigerians Environment

This review examined significant disparities in global health status, highlighting pronounced inequities between rural and urban areas in Nigeria and between developed and developing nations. Various social, economic, cultural and geographical accessibility factors contribute to these disparities. The paper identified how healthcare resources are predominantly concentrated in urban areas, disadvantaging rural and suburban populations. It also addressed the often-overlooked issue of occupational health in Nigeria. To mitigate health inequities and promote health equity, the paper recommended enhancing the quality of Primary Health Care to better serve rural communities in Nigeria.
