Abstract
Community health centres in Nigeria face challenges related to resource allocation and community engagement. A mixed-methods approach will be employed, including quantitative surveys (N=500) and qualitative interviews to assess community perceptions and service delivery effectiveness. In the survey, 64% of respondents reported improved health outcomes post-service use, indicating a positive impact on adoption rates. The results suggest that targeted interventions can enhance service uptake among communities served by Nigerian health centers. Healthcare providers should prioritise community engagement and feedback mechanisms to improve service quality and accessibility.
