Abstract
This study examines international migration of health professionals and health care delivery in Nigeria between 2015-2023: Specifically, this study examine whether the migration of Nigerian medical professionals has affected healthcare service delivery and workforce availability; and if the failure of the government to adequately invest in healthcare infrastructure and workforce development accounts for the persistent migration of health professional in Nigeria has been effective in addressing the challenges of international migration of these health professionals in Nigeria, 2015-2023. By adopting documentary method of data collection, push and pull theory and a documentary research design, they found that the migration of Nigerian medical professionals has significantly affected healthcare service delivery and workforce availability in Nigeria. The study therefore concludes and recommends amongst others that the Federal Ministry of Budget and National Planning should immediately increase healthcare budget allocation to meet the WHO- recommended 15% of national budget, establishing a dedicated Healthcare Development Fund with ring-fenced funding mechanisms to ensure consistent investment in infrastructure, equipment, and workforce development programs in Nigeria.
