As Africa’s largest country (population and GDP), Nigeria is a typical example of SSA’s healthcare problems. While the global average annual healthcare expenditure per capita was $1,177 in 2020 with countries such as USA at $11,702, SSA had an annual healthcare expenditure per capita of $73.74 with that of Nigeria being just $70
