Description
Nigeria's health system underserves people with disabilities, and those with visual impairment face stacked barriers. Nneoma Dike and co-authors review the evidence through a socio-ecological lens, sorting failures across political, economic, cultural, and environmental layers. Their search covered major databases and policy sources on disability, access, and Nigeria.
The findings point to system-wide breakdowns: hostile attitudes, buildings and services that exclude, and anti-discrimination laws left unenforced. Money for inclusive services runs short, and disabled people rarely sit at the policy table. The 2025 analysis urges reforms that join legal muscle, real budgets, and the voices of people with visual impairment in designing the fix.
