Integration programmes for healthcare migrant nurses have been implemented in Nigeria to address a shortage of professionals and improve patient care standards. The study utilised comparative analysis of pre- and post-integration data from three randomly selected hospitals in Nigeria to assess improvements in nurse-to-patient ratios and infection rates. A notable improvement was observed in the reduction of hospital-acquired infections by 20% among patients treated after integration programme implementation, indicating enhanced patient care standards. Integration programmes have shown promise in bolstering local healthcare capacities but require ongoing support to sustain these improvements. Further studies should explore long-term effects and sustainability of the programmes, as well as their impact on nurse retention rates.
