Programs and Policies. As part of this project, we spoke with policy makers at local, state and federal levels to determine what policies were in place to support the elderly and improve their quality of care. Among state and local policymakers we spoke with, none had policies or programs specifically dedicated to eldercare. As a reminder, there is no social welfare program at the federal level to support the elderly. Some civil servants do receive pensions, but these are often delayed or never received. At the federal level there were several policies at various levels of implementation. The National Council on Health established a directive in 2012 that all federal tertiary-level institutions should have a geriatric center. As of summer 2016, one had been established at the University of Ibadan. A poverty alleviation program, still in its early stages, would provide a monthly allowance for the poor and the ministry hoped that this program would reach the elderly. A Ministry of Health official also mentioned a new approach to providing income for older adults that taught them crafts and skills like hand-weaving and gardening. It was unclear if this was an official government- sponsored program. Eldercare technically falls under the Ministry of Women’s Affairs and Social Development.

The ministry had implemented sensitization campaigns on elder abuse and handicap accessibility using radio and television messaging. In the past, the ministry supported individual eldercare institutions by giving televisions, food, and mattresses. According to a ministry official, there are 25 eldercare homes in Nigeria. There are no geriatricians, which was corroborated by all the health professionals we spoke with. The University of Ibadan has a well-regarded geriatric center and while there are no physicians trained in geriatrics, many of the doctors there conduct research on eldercare. Perceptions of Quality of Care In the literature review of this paper, I discussed the administrative structure of the health care system in Nigeria, but for clarity’s sake, I will briefly review it here. The primary health care system is managed by local government areas (LGAs) and provides basic services like typhoid and malaria treatment. Secondary-level hospitals are managed by state government and provide more comprehensive serv...
