Once a person assumes a sick role, it is observed that he or she seeks medical advice and cooperate with medical experts. Health seekers in Nigeria like any developing country tends to do so based on the resources at the disposal of the individuals or family. This paper is a review of health seeking behaviour in Nigeria. The objective of the paper includes to review the determinants of health seeking behaviour in Nigeria. Secondary method of data collection was adopted. Based on the literature reviewed, the paper revealed that social (peer group, family and religious belief), demographic (age, sex, and educational attainment), economic (socio-economic status and cost of health-care service), cultural, spatial and environmental, and healthcare system are determinants of health-seeking behaviour in Nigeria. The paper concluded by stating that the multifaceted nature of health-seeking determinants must be taken into consideration in any attempt to understand health-seeking behaviour in Nigeria, and also recommended that; future interventions aimed at improving healthcare seeking behaviour may be enhanced by targeting not only the patient’s effort but also on the institutional capacity to make accessibility to health care facilities possible; and also, improvement in healthcare seeking behaviour cannot be fully achieved without achievable policy at the national level.
