Service Compact (SERVICOM) is probably seen to have played considerable roles in public service delivery system, to which certain issues and problems as identified might have acted as impediment to the workings of most federal teaching hospitals. The effect of SERVICOM in key service delivery areas may have in recent time become a source of concern as substantial attention has not been paid to its centrality. By drawing a contour of successes and failure of SERVICOM, this study investigated the consequences, challenges and effects of SERVICOM in service delivery in the selected Federal Teaching Hospitals in the South-East. The study utilized both primary and secondary data. Survey method, in-depth interview and questionnaires were utilized to source primary data. These include: 15 unstructured key informant interviews with four doctors, four pharmacists, three nurses, two administrators and two heads of SERVICOM units.

The secondary data were drawn from library and archival documents. The study employed quantitative, descriptive and content analysis approach. The study is situated on the Bureaucratic Theory. The study revealed that public service is currently being positively impacted by the service compact initiative.
