Abstract: The most significant ingredient of life is health. No wonder the oft–spoken slogan: “Health is wealth†, has remained evergreen in our memory. This is why inasmuch as life is the greatest gift of God to man, the provision of health care facilities is needed in superfluity in order that life may be sustained on earth. Unfortunately, in Nigeria today, the provision of health care facilities seems to be at low ebb as many Nigerian are vulnerably exposed to the danger of death. This situation gives the ugly impression that the political office holders appear to be paying lip service to their dauntless statements that health care facilities would be made available at every nook and cranny of the polity. Worried by this perplexing situation, the paper attempts to investigate the decays in the Nigeria’s health system and seeks to proffer ways which the populace can enjoy a healthier and longer life.
