Globalization has given rise to spread of ideas, principles, policies and paradigms which
have rendered national boundaries artificial, penetratable and fast disappearing. The imperativeness of
complete paradigm shift in service delivery is the leit motif behind restructuring. The paper takes a
cursory look on effect of restructuring in the accomplishment of organisational goals and objectives
through the evaluation of target performance of the ministry as a result of the adoption of certain
innovative ideas which were hitherto unknown. The study was carried out in Abuja (FCT) with Twohundred
and sixty (260) questionnaire administered and distributed to staff of Health Ministry. Data
collected were analyzed using frequency table and percentage while the non-parametric statistical test
Chi-square was used to test the formulated hypothesis using STATA 10 data analysis package/software to
examine the relationship between organisation restructuring and performance of government parastatals
(Ministry of Health), and investigate if it has led to transformation of medical care service delivery.
The result of the findings revealed that there is correlation between organisational restructuring and
performance but not strong enough to make a defective policy result oriented. The result of tested
hypothesis show that there is significant relationship between Restructuring and Performance of Federal
Ministry of Health in Nigeria but the combined effect does not lead to transformation in Health care
service delivery. The finding is expected to be of tremendous importance to the government officials,
corporate management policy makers and particularly stakeholders in health care service delivery
