Who Pays for Rural Health (Part 2) | Dr Laz Ude Eze | What About Rural Health

In this episode of Rethinking Rural Health Financing, we confront a difficult but necessary question: who truly pays for rural health? What begins as a viral budget controversy quickly unfolds into a deeper exploration of how healthcare is actually funded in Nigeria.

Joined by public health expert Dr. Laz Ude, Public Health Physician, Founder and CEO of TalkHealth9ja, we uncover a complex system where funding comes from multiple sources - government, donors, and insurance - but in reality, the largest burden falls on everyday people.

From out-of-pocket payments to hidden costs like transportation, lost income, and delayed care, rural communities are paying far more than what appears on paper. #whataboutruralhealth #podcast #healthequity #ruralhealth #interview #healthcare #healthfinancing #podmatch Want to be a guest on What About Rural Health?™?
