title: Gender bias in access to healthcare in Nigeria: a study of end-stage renal disease.
abstract: Sexual inequalities exist in most societies. Women are discriminated against in almost every sphere of life (i.e. in politics, inheritance, etc.) from childhood, especially in communities where there is a preference for the male child. Women have limited access to assets and services such as education and health care, resulting in their being socio-economically dependent on men.
