dc.description.abstractInformed consent is a cornerstone of healthcare ethics and law in Nigeria. However, ensuring regulatory compliance and healthcare provider accountability remains a challenge. This paper examines the tripartite relationship between regulatory frameworks, institutional compliance, and healthcare provider responsibilities in obtaining informed consent; it analyzes existing laws, policies, and guidelines to identify gaps. It further scrutinizes the role of healthcare institutions and providers in ensuring effective informed consent practices, highlighting the challenges and opportunities for promoting patient autonomy and dignity in Nigeria’s healthcare system. This study ultimately argues that a multifaceted approach, incorporating regulatory reform, institutional accountability, and provider responsibility is essential for ensuring the integrity and efficacy of informed consent in Nigeria’s healthcare sector. This paper adopts analytical and comparative approach, utilizing the doctrinal legal research methodology which involves the scrutiny of both primary and secondary sources to provide an encompassing and insightful examination of the issue under consideration.
