Prepared Or Unprepared? Evaluating Healthcare Workforce Readiness for Clinical Adoption of Artificial Intelligence in Nigeria

Survey of 761 Nigerian healthcare professionals finds high AI awareness (92.6%) but limited knowledge, preparedness, and major training and infrastructure barriers.

A cross-sectional study of 761 healthcare professionals across Nigeria, conducted from December 2025 to March 2026, found 92.6% awareness of AI in healthcare but 40.9% reporting low knowledge and only 63.0% feeling adequately prepared. Top barriers were lack of training (84.7%), poor infrastructure (71.1%), and high tool costs (61.0%). Willingness to adopt was strong, with 92.5% interested in training and 78.7% supporting AI in undergraduate curricula; preparedness differed significantly across geopolitical zones and professions.

Gartner predicts 80% of organizations will run smaller, AI-augmented engineering teams by 2030. Security leaders from Contrast Security, Menlo Security and the Cloud Security Alliance expect agent-run SOCs, machine-speed containment and abundant vulnerability discovery, but caution that absorption capacity and autonomous production-environment validation remain bottlenecks.
