Nigeria’s average doctor-to-patient ratio now at 1:15,361
The 2025 SBM Health Preparedness Index, HPI report reveals that Nigeria’s average doctor-to-patient ratio now stands at 1:15,361, far below the World Health Organisation’s recommended ratio of 1:1,000.
In some states, the figure is catastrophically higher, pointing to a severe shortage of medical professionals across the country.
