ABSTRACT

The study was carried out to assess nursing and midwifery qualities services, the prospects and challenges faced in Nigeria. Nurses and midwives form the largest group of staff in Health and Social Care and are a crucial part of the healthcare team. They play a critical role not only in delivering healthcare to millions around the world but also in transforming health policies, promoting health in communities, and supporting patients and families. The study concluded that globally, nurses and midwives represent half the professional health workforce. They are at the centre of almost every healthcare team and make an enormous contribution to health. Nursing encompasses autonomous and collaborative care of individuals of all ages, families, groups, and communities, sick or well, and in all settings. One of the recommendations made was that the government should provide hospitals with modern and adequate facilities to ensure quality health services and meet patients' expectations.
