| Abstract: | The study examined the determinants of access to breast cancer management in public health institutions in Nigeria using the case of Enugu state. The study derived justification from the fact that in recent times, cancers of all types have become issues of high concern. Even in developed societies where medical facilities are top notch, lives have continued to be lost as cancers of different parts of the body continue to spread like wildfire. There is therefore no gainsaying the fact that breast cancer just like other forms of cancer is a major problem developing countries where medical care seems to be developing at very slow paces due to lack of funds and dearth of functional, well equipped public health institutions, this is especially the case of Nigeria, where breast cancer has consumed the lives of women of all ages due to reasons ranging from financial constraints, inadequate testing and detection services down to lack of trust in public health institutions. Therefore, this study examined the perception of the public regarding the efficacy and trust they have in public health institutions in Nigeria with regards to breast cancer management. Utilizing a combination of both the quantitative (questionnaire) and qualitative (in-depth interviews) methodology in collecting data and data collected were computer processed and analyzed utilizing the twentieth version of the SPSS while the data from the qualitative survey were analyzed manually and used contextually. From the above, the study discovered inter alia that those who are affected by breast cancer prefer to go to private hospitals and chemists/pharmacists respectively than to public hospitals due to their lack of faith and trust in government hospitals; a big distrust of public health institutions by respondents; inadequacy of social work services and social workers addressing breast cancer in Nigeria. The study therefore recommended that policy makers and legislators in the country investigate, and where necessary review the policies guiding the public health sector in order to ensure that the average citizen in the country has access to health care services as and when due. |
