This study
examines the Efficacy of Traditional Healthcare Delivery System in Mbembe
Society of Obubra Local Government Area, Cross River State, Nigeria. The
problem statement is drawn from the insufficiency of orthodox or government
healthcare facilities in the area which unavoidably leaves the citizens on the
mercies of traditional healthcare providers. Objectives of the study are
considered along basic areas which guide the literature review. The methodology
highlighted the design of the study, area of the study, population of the
study, methods of data collection and Analysis. The study adopted the survey
research designed and the cross sectional survey research. Population sampling
was achieved through a multi stage sampling procedure. The questionnaire
instrument was employed for primary data collection, while other surrogate
measures were achieved through biophysical data capturing. Data analysis was
done using hypothesis testing, regression analysis and Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA). Following the result from various indications the null hypothesis was
rejected while the alternate hypothesis was accepted connoting significant
variation in traditional healthcare delivery system with the modern healthcare
delivery system. The work recommends among others that traditional healthcare
system should be evenly or randomly spread in favour of the spatial location of
Mbembe people in the area and increase presence of biomedical therapy to
effectively combat contemporary imbalances.
