This study reveals a higher-than-expected national average A&E capacity score (2·69 out of 3) in Nigerian tertiary hospitals but highlights ongoing challenges, particularly in managing respiratory emergencies. Notable regional disparities were observed, with the Northern region outperforming others. Findings emphasize the need for objective, on-site evaluations and broader inclusion of facilities, along with targeted, region-specific investments to improve equitable emergency care nationwide.
