This study gives an overview of managing and financing primary health care facilities in Nigeria, explaining the existing state of the facilities. It highlights the problems of health care facilities in Nigeria, using the Kogi diagnostic hospital as case study. It presents the various models of public private partnerships from literature, such as neoliberalism and complexity of governance, prevailing public private partnership management models. The selected model as appropriate is to be implemented through action planning. This involves the unbundling of the health facilities ripe for privatization. It attempts to find the most suitable private public partnership for the study area. It was finally concluded that no one method is mutually exclusive, more than one method of governance could be applied at the same time depending on the existing situation.
