Campus health centres remain an important part of student welfare in Nigerian tertiary institutions, providing basic medical care for students during academic sessions.
These facilities offer services such as treatment for common illnesses, first aid, medical consultations, and referrals to larger hospitals when necessary.
Many institutions also run health awareness programmes focused on hygiene, mental health, stress management, and disease prevention.
However, challenges such as long waiting times, limited drugs, understaffing, and inadequate equipment continue to affect service delivery.Some students also resort to self-medication, despite warnings from health professionals about its risks.
Institutions are making efforts to improve healthcare services through staff recruitment, facility upgrades, and hospital partnerships.
Students are advised to make proper use of campus health services and seek early medical attention when needed.
