Abstract: Health is seen as one of the most important services provided by the government and a significant proportion of the nation’s wealth is usually devoted to health, particularly in developed countries. The theme, healthcare requires careful administration and must be based on sound policies and sincere commitment because it connects to bodily integrity and the dignity of the patient. For proper healthcare practices, good ethical principles must be on hand to guide medical practice as the noble profession urges. Worldwide, there has been growing public concern regarding the ethical conduct of healthcare professionals. Using analytical-expository method the paper points out to an extent, the structure and operation of the healthcare system in Nigeria, a brief sequence of the evolution of healthcare in Nigeria, the need for quality healthcare staffers, and a quality healthcare system in Nigeria, focusing on both contemporary and emerging ethical issues that are yet neglected in the country. It will look at the moral importance of healthcare practices, especially toward distributive justice in Nigeria. Undoubtedly, it is necessary to analyze the healthcare ethics toward our direction as a country for better healthcare delivery.
