Most Nigerians with mental health challenges and illnesses lack quality treatment because of the shortage of psychiatrists in Nigeria and the population of Nigeria is around 200 million, making it the most populated Black nation . But there is shortage of psychiatrists to provide effective mental healthcare services in the densely populated West African country; the psychiatrist–patient quotient in Nigeria is appalling, consequently hindering effective mental healthcare delivery in Nigeria . There are about 200 registered psychiatrists currently listed to practice in Nigeria; this means that one psychiatrist is meant to cater for the mental health of one million Nigerians . |
