A hospital in Abuja, Nigeria's capital
In Nigeria, there has been a major progress in the improvement of health since 1950. Although lower respiratory infections, neonatal disorders and HIV/AIDS have ranked the topmost causes of deaths in Nigeria,[1] in the case of other diseases such as monkeypox,[2] polio, malaria and tuberculosis, progress has been achieved. Among other threats to health are malnutrition, pollution and road traffic accidents. In 2020, Nigeria had the highest number of cases of COVID-19 in Africa.[citation needed]
The Human Rights Measurement Initiative[3] finds that Nigeria is fulfilling 48.2% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to health based on its level of income.[4] When looking at the right to health with respect to children, Nigeria achieves 66.6% of what is expected based on its current income.[4] In regards to the right to health amongst the adult population, the country achieves only 61.7% of what is expected based on the nation's level of income.[4] Nigeria falls into the "very bad" category when evaluating the right to reproductive health because the nation is fulfilling only 16.3% of what the nation is expected to achieve based on the resources (income) it has available.[4]
