As a lower-middle-income country with a large, rapidly growing population, Nigeria is facing considerable pressure on how it provides and pays for health services for its people. Nigeria, which joined the GFF in 2015, has among the lowest per capita health expenditures in the world and spends less on health than other countries with comparable income levels. At the same time, domestic insurgency has left the country’s North East region a particularly fragile area, struggling with service delivery and health infrastructure, and leaving households with limited access to health and nutrition services.
