Nigerian Rural Health Promotion: Challenges with delivering care in rural areas with Dr. Zainab Dahiru

Nigerian Health Promotion: Challenges of Delivering Care in Rural Areas — A Conversation with Dr. Zainab Dahiru

In this episode of What About Rural Health?, host Chinasa Imo speaks with Dr Zainab Dahiru, a dedicated primary healthcare doctor whose experience serving in Saye Village offers a rare and honest look into the realities of rural healthcare in Nigeria.

Dr. Zainab shares the inspiration behind her work and opens up about the barriers that make health promotion and care delivery incredibly difficult in remote communities — from understaffed facilities to transportation challenges and resource limitations.

She highlights the most common diseases affecting rural populations, and how stigma, deeply rooted cultural beliefs, and widespread misinformation often stand in the way of timely care. Through her stories, we see how cultural context shapes health behaviours — and why community trust is just as important as medical treatment.

This episode sheds light on what it truly takes to serve rural communities: compassion, cultural sensitivity, and an unwavering commitment to improving health outcomes where it matters most.

Tune in for a powerful, eye-opening conversation about the heart of rural healthcare in Nigeria.
