Abstract
One of the most serious obstacles to the development of effective health services is inadequate supply of trained health manpower. An overview is presented of the current numbers and types of health personnel, their roles and trends over time, their geographical distribution across Nigeria and efforts to influence it. It is indicated that in Nigeria the geographical distribution of medical personnel is extremely uneven and that there is a need for fundamental changes in health manpower policy.
