                  abstract = {This study examined the availability and access to healthcare services at the Federal University Gashua School Clinic, focusing on the adequacy of medicines, healthcare personnel, laboratory facilities, medical equipment’s, and emergency services. A quantitative research design was adopted, using questionnaires administered to a sample of 100 undergraduate students selected through a multi-stage sampling technique to capture diverse experiences across faculties and departments. Primary data from students’ responses were complemented with secondary sources such as journals, books, and credible online materials to provide context. The findings revealed significant gaps in service delivery, including frequent shortages of medicines, inadequate numbers of doctors, nurses, and laboratory staff, outdated or insufficient medical equipment’s, and ineffective emergency care. The study concluded that while the clinic plays a vital role in providing healthcare to students and staff, it struggles to meet the community’s healthcare needs consistently. It recommended regular drug supply, recruitment of more qualified personnel, and provision of modern equipment to improve the clinic’s capacity and overall quality of care.},
