Health Promotion Strategies for Sustainable Improvement of Public Health Outcomes in Nigeria
This review paper aims to comprehensively explore the priority areas for promoting health within the country. Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, faces numerous health challenges due to socio-economic, cultural, and infrastructural factors. This review identifies key priority areas that demand attention for effective health promotion strategies by analyzing existing literature. These include infectious diseases, maternal and child health, non-communicable diseases, health care infrastructure, and health education. Thus, promoting health within the Nigerian community requires a holistic approach that addresses the unique challenges and opportunities present in the country. Therefore, the paper recommends a multi-faceted approach involving government policies, community engagement, and international collaboration to achieve sustainable improvements in public health outcomes within Nigeria.
