Abstract
Provision of affordable and accessible healthcare system has remained the collective responsibility of both state and non-state actors in Nigeria. Despite government giant stride at providing affordable and increase accessibility to healthcare service; many of the Nigerian population are underserved. This is because, healthcare infrastructure and services remain inadequate, leading to health disparities and preventable mortality. However, it appears that the huge potentials of health-related NGOs to provide significant contribution towards improved healthcare system is still been underexploited. This study examines the ways in which non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have overtime contributed to improving healthcare services in Nigeria. Moreso, it unveils strategies, partnerships and impact, on healthcare infrastructure nationwide. Additionally, it delves into specific case studies that highlight how NGOs have positively influenced the healthcare sector. These case studies focus on disease control access to medicines and the reduction of child mortality rates. The research findings emphasize the importance of NGO involvement in improving healthcare access and addressing health disparities. By understanding the roles played by NGOs in Nigerian healthcare system, policymakers and stakeholders should collaborate effectively with these organizations to enhance healthcare access and work towards achieving universal health coverage in the country.
