This paper discussed the role of physics in medical science that enhanced the health standard of the people in Nigeria towards healthy national development. The paper addresses some critical and ever-growing health challenges such as cancer, tumor, mental illness, kidney problems and the recent global pandemic COVID-19 confronting the health sector and its implications towards health care development in Nigeria. It is noteworthy that physics techniques have provided help in the field of medicine in facing the identified challenges in the health sector through effective diagnosis and therapeutic managements. The study concluded that the intervention of physics in medical science helps in enhancing the entire health standard of the people which brings about increase in productivity leading to national development. It was suggested that development of physics-based technologies across the nation be given the desired encouragement.
