Article Synopsis
- Nigeria's neurosurgery field struggles with a dire lack of neurosurgeons, high migration rates of medical professionals, and limited access to care due to urban-centric centers and financial barriers.
- Key issues include inadequate manpower, poor emergency services, lack of imaging and surgical equipment, and ineffective policies, resulting in poor management of neurotrauma cases and limited subspecialization opportunities in training.
- To improve the situation, it's essential to enhance infrastructure, expand training capacity especially in rural areas, implement unified residency matching, address gender disparities, and promote international collaboration for research and funding.*
