Abstract

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has shown vulnerabilities in healthcare systems around the globe, emphasising the necessity for healthcare delivery that is both adaptable and prompt in its response. The epidemic has exacerbated the existing issues faced by Nigeria’s healthcare sector. This study, therefore, explored healthcare services provision, mobilisation, and delivery during COVID-19 pandemic in Ido Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria. The study was anchored on the Healthcare Access Theory and Delivery System Theory.  The study utilised a descriptive survey research approach, while the purposive sampling technique was employed to select one-hundred and sixty participants. The quantitative research instrument tagged ‘Healthcare Resources Provision, Mobilisation and Delivery during Covid-19 (HRPMD-Covid-19)’ was used to obtain information from the participants. The empirical findings indicated that during the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare services were not prioritized, with resources being redirected towards addressing the situation. Non-health personnel and non-governmental organizations provided healthcare services, but the government’s allocation was inadequate. Obstacles faced included insufficient financial resources, limited personnel management capacity, inadequate supervision, lack of community involvement, and low awareness of available services. Strategies to enhance healthcare resources included implementing participatory approaches, regular training programs, monitoring, financial resources, public campaigns, evaluations, modern technology, and mobilising human resources.
