Résumé
Les réformes de la santé visant la couverture universelle d'ici à 2015 se sont intensifiées au Nigéria depuis l'aube du XXIe siècle, et le système national d'assurance maladie, en particulier, a été salué comme la panacée et le cadre approprié pour atteindre l’objectif fixé. Cependant, à quelques mois du terme, la réalité est sombre et l’atteinte de cet objectif est une tâche plus redoutable que jamais. Le présent article vise à faire l’analyse historique de la prestation de services de soins de santé au Nigéria et des difficultés rencontrées dans l’atteinte des objectifs sanitaires, en soulignant la faiblesse de la gouvernance, les défis économiques et les contextes socioculturels comme facteurs interactifs importants ralentissant le processus. En conclusion, l’article met en exergue certaines nouvelles possibilités importantes pour le renforcement du système de santé, notamment la libéralisation du secteur de la santé, le renforcement du partenariat public-privé, et fait des suggestions pour améliorer le système national d'assurance maladie tout en reconnaissant la nécessité de tenir compte des facteurs socio-culturels pour l’atteinte des cibles.
