Abstract

This study interrogated Government and Social Service Delivery; A Study of Enugu state Ministry of Health Response to WHO rules on COVID 19 Pandemic,2020-2021: It examined how efficient was the Ministry of health in its response to WHO rules on COVID 19 Pandemic in Enugu. This study anchored on structural functionalism by Gabriel Almond and it presented the hypothesis: Enugu State Ministry of Health was more efficient in its response to WHO rules on COVID-19 pandemic between 2020-2021. Documentary and Survey methods of data collection were adopted together with content analysis of data from questionnaires. This study discovered that despite the challenges confronting the implementation of the District Health System in Enugu State Ministry of Health, that the Enugu State government manifested all the indicators of efficient healthcare delivery to its citizens via constructions of new structures, free gifts of nose masks, sanitizers and transformation of the state-owned health facilities especially during the 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic. This Study therefore recommends that Since the government has constructed, re-habilitate and renovated many hospitals, Cottage, and isolation centers for COVID-19 patients within the state, he should also deem it necessary to adopt maintenance culture, employ qualified/trained health personnel, equip all these healthcare Centers and hospitals with modern medical instruments and subsidize the price of drugs/ bills.
