Medical social work in Nigeria was inherited from British colonial almoner model emphasizing Western individualistic casework. Hospital practice reveals communal realities involving extended family conferences (Umunna/Ebi), town unions, age-grade associations, and faith-based prayer. These are documented anecdotally but not systematically mapped, creating theory-practice dissonance and policy invisibility - pilot scan of National Health Policy 2016 shows zero mention of social work.
