NDDC Healthcare Delivery Project and Socio-Economic Wellbeing of People in Southern Senatorial District of Cross River State, Nigeria

Abstract

This study looked on the socioeconomic well-being of residents in the Southern Senatorial District of Cross River State, Nigeria, as well as the NDDC healthcare delivery scheme. For the study, a cross-sectional survey design was chosen. The study used both primary and secondary sources to collect its data. First-hand information collected from respondents during fieldwork served as the primary source. The main sources of data used for data collection were questionnaires (quantitative data), focus groups, and interviews (qualitative data). Reviews of scholarly empirical or theoretical works, including those found online, in journals, newspapers, textbooks, and other publications, constituted the secondary data source. 1,200 adult male and female respondents were chosen at random to form the study's sample. At the 0.05 level of significance, the study used Simple Linear Regression Analysis to evaluate its assumptions. The study's findings demonstrated a robust positive correlation between the socioeconomic well-being of the populace and healthcare delivery projects. Based on the findings, recommendations were made for, among other things: the government should use the NDDC to provide healthcare delivery services to communities without facilities; the commission's needs assessment strategy should be reexamined to reflect the needs of the populace; medical services and healthcare facilities should be improved; and everyone should have access to them, regardless of their socioeconomic or financial situation; finally, the NDDC should not be the only organization in charge of providing rural healthcare services.
