Chapter One — 1.1 Background to the Study

In recent years, Access to Primary Healthcare has emerged as a critical factor shaping public health awareness across organizations operating in and around Selected Fintech Companies in Nigeria. As institutions grapple with the pressures of globalization, regulatory reform, and shifting stakeholder expectations, understanding how access to primary healthcare relates to public health awareness has become an important area of both scholarly and practical concern.

Within the context of Selected Fintech Companies in Nigeria, this relationship carries particular significance.
