Percutaneous coronary intervention facilities in Nigeria.
Background: In Nigeria, the incidence of coronary artery disease has doubled over the last three decades. However, there appears to be a lack of adequate heart catheterisation facilities.
Methods: A list of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-capable facilities was compiled for each state in Nigeria and the federal capital territory. Population estimates for 2019 were obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics and this was utilised to calculate the number of PCI facilities per person in each state and the country.
Results: There are 12 operational PCI facilities in Nigeria, 11 of which are in the private health sector. Overall, there is one PCI facility per 16 761 272 people in Nigeria.
Conclusion: There is a distinct lack of PCI-capable facilities in Nigeria. There needs to be an investment from the government and stakeholders in Nigeria to increase the access to PCI, given the paradigm shift from communicable to noncommunicable diseases.
