- Public Versus Private Hospitals: Sources and Constraints of Financing Public Healthcare Units - A Case Study of Hospitals in the Delta State of NigeriaPublication . Okwuarinma, Abraham Christopher; Monteiro, João DionisioThe study highlighted the substantial impact of financial constraints on both public and private healthcare facilities in Delta State, Nigeria. It emphasized the need for improved funding mechanisms and policy reforms to address these challenges and enhance healthcare delivery. The findings underscore the preference of low and middle-income patients for public hospitals, driven by factors such as effectiveness, satisfaction, and access to health insurance, despite the pervasive financial constraints faced by both public and private health sectors. The study's policy recommendations aim to mitigate these financial barriers and support the sustainable growth of health outcomes in Nigeria, aligning with the broader goal of achieving universal health coverage.
