The paper gives a brief overview of the growth and development of health services in Nigeria in the period after independence. A large part of the paper concentrates on the discussion of various forms of health services inequalities in Nigeria. Regional and rural-urban inequalities which are usually cited by Nigerian health critics to justify health inequalities have been considered. However, the paper, concludes that class inequalities are the most serious forms of inequality affecting the distribution and utilization of health resources in Nigeria.
该论文简要概述了尼日利亚独立后时期卫生服务的增长与发展。论文的很大一部分集中于讨论尼日利亚卫生服务不平等的各种形式。尼日利亚卫生批评人士通常引用的地区和城乡不平等被纳入了考量，以此为卫生不平等现象辩解。然而，该论文得出结论，阶层不平等是影响尼日利亚卫生资源分配和利用的最严重的不平等形式。
