Abstract:
PurposeHealth improves the proficiency and output generated by individuals. It also raises physical as well as mental abilities, which are required for the growth and advancement of any economy. Many infant diseases have been recognised via contemporary technology in a bid to tackle these diseases. However, children within the African continent (Including Nigeria) die en masse from diseases. This has made the government of Nigeria allocate sizeable part of the nation's budget to healthcare system. The allocation to health is, however, yet to translate to improved health condition for Nigerians. It does not measure up to the World Health Organization's (WHO) standards for apportioning budget to the health sector. This study also analyses empirically the impact of healthcare expenses on the mortality level of infants as well as Nigeria's neonatal mortality level.Design/methodology/approachThe paper focuses on Nigeria. Vector auto regression model techniques, unit root tests and cointegration test were carried out using time series date for the period between 1986 and 2016.FindingsThe outcome has revealed that expenditure on healthcare possesses a negative correlation with the mortality of infants and neonates. The study discovers that if the Nigerian government raises and maintains health expenditure specifically on activities focused on minimising infant mortality, it will translate to reduction in infant mortality in Nigeria.Originality/valueThis paper has contributed exhaustively to solution to poor expenditure on healthcare, especially child mortality, in Nigeria.

Abstract:
Nigeria, in its quest to strengthen its primary healthcare system, is faced with a number of challenges including a shortage of clinicians and skills. Methods are being sought to better equip primary healthcare clinicians for the clinical demands that they face. Using a mentorship model between developers in South Africa and Nigerian clinicians, the Practical Approach to Care Kit (PACK) for adult patients, a health systems strengthening programme, has been localised and piloted in 51 primary healthcare facilities in three Nigerian states. Lessons learnt from this experience include the value of this remote model of localisation for rapid localisation, the importance of early, continuous stakeholder engagement, the need expressed by Nigeria’s primary healthcare clinicians for clinical guidance that is user friendly and up-to-date, a preference for the tablet version of the PACK Adult guide over hard copies and the added value of WhatsApp groups to complement the programme of face-to-face continuous learning. Introduction of the PACK programme in Nigeria prompted uptake of evidence-informed recommendations within primary healthcare services.

Abstract:
Using both graphical and geometric analyses, this paper examines the extent of inequity in healthcare finance among the Nigerian population. One of the acclaimed plans in healthcare in this teeming community is the mix method of financing but the system in practise is dominated with Object Oriented Programmings (OOPs) meanwhile the degree of income inequality still remain high. Using the Nigerian Living Standard Survey (NLSS) data conducted in 2004, the framework for this study relies on Kakwani Progressivity Index (KPI). A decomposition of the groups into lower and upper bound however, reveal that health payment for lower bound is regressive while payment for upper bound is progressive. Although, the upper bound result dominates the entire result which finally suggests a progressive system arising from the spending habit of the rich in seeking for healthcare services abroad.

Abstract:
Healthcare facilities design is a complex and dynamic process that considers meeting the needs of each of its stakeholders. The design becomes more complex when it involves building for particular user groups with non-standard specification. The Nigerian healthcare delivery system like many other health care systems in developing countries requires active participation of the patient's family member. However, the hospital setting in Nigeria has not been configured to accommodate their stay. This qualitative study is carried out to explore the extent of family participation in caring for their hospitalised ones with a view to identify design indices that will guide Nigerian hospital ward design. Data was obtained through observation and unstructured interview in a typical adult male and female surgical wards in one of the tertiary hospitals in Nigeria. Data was analysed using classical content analysis method. The result shows the design indices generated from patient's families involvement required in the Nigerian hospital ward configuration.

Abstract:
The role of Pharmacists in healthcare has changed significantly over the previous half-century, from dispensing to providing direct patient-oriented services unrelated to dispensing. As a result, the pharmacy profession offers unique expertise to members of the profession with a distinct set of abilities that enable them to play a variety of roles in developing the Nigerian health system. Pharmacy and community pharmacists play an important role in the public health system by providing prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medication with professional counseling, participating in health care programs, and maintaining contact with other healthcare professionals in the health care system. In addition to being open to the public, pharmacists are responsible for the safe and effective administration of pharmaceuticals, participate in health screening and monitoring programs, and are responsive to the requirements and preferences of patients. Unfortunately, there are fewer studies on the roles that pharmacists play in improving the Nigerian health system. As a result, this study highlights some of the roles pharmacists play in strengthening the health system of Nigeria.

Abstract:
Corruption is a complex and multifaceted challenge of global concern. The correctional setting in Nigeria is not exempted from the more general context of this issue. Nigeria has a poorly structured service for correctional healthcare system driven by a collection of socioeconomic and legal factors especially corruption. One of the pressing challenges in Nigerian public health is to provide services to those who need them the most, particularly those behind bars and therefore hard to reach. Yet, it remains obvious that, a significant majority of those with health problems are incarcerated in the correctional centers of Nigeria. This study which is anchored on Economic Theory of Corruption examined corrupt practices associated with healthcare delivery in Kano Central and Goron Dutse Correctional Centers. The study utilized quantitative and qualitative methods in eliciting data from convicted and awaiting trial inmates and healthcare providers. Thus, a total of 350 inmates were sampled across convicts and awaiting trial inmates through the simple random sampling technique using Wiseman’s 1999 table of sample size. In addition, two respondents (healthcare officials) were purposively sampled for in-depth interview. The findings revealed some level of negation especially as it concerns referrals and the inmates’ treatment charges outside the correctional setting. The study recommends the need for complete overhaul of the correctional healthcare delivery system in line with recommended global best practices.

Abstract:
Monkeypox is now a disease of global public health concern, making it cut across boundaries into different countries, continents and spread worldwide. However, it originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo as a human pathogen in 1970, with the first case reported in Nigeria in 1971. The World Health Organization recently declared Nigeria the country with the highest burden of monkeypox-confirmed cases and deaths in Africa for the current outbreak. This study aimed to identify forms, challenges, strengths, and ways to further strengthen the surveillance system of monkeypox in Nigeria. We conducted a rapid narrative review of articles published in English on monkeypox between January 2018 and October 2022. Google Scholar and PubMed were searched with the following terms: "Monkeypox", "Surveillance system", "Strengthening", "Challenges" "Nigeria" and relevant publications were reviewed. The forms of surveillance systems in Nigeria include Indicator-based and Event-based surveillance, contact tracing, laboratory-based surveillance, sero-surveillance, and mortality surveillance. Shortage of highly skilled staff in public health interventions, insufficient testing capacities, power instability, poor healthcare systems and stigmatization from communities with misinformation, and co-epidemic surveillance burden in Nigeria are some of the challenges contributing to weak surveillance in the country. The Nigerian governments must focus on investing in surveillance systems and bolster preparedness to stem the rapid spread of infectious diseases. Strengthening the surveillance system in the country as a response intervention for monkeypox is no longer a matter of option in Nigeria but of necessity to prevent the forecasted effect the incidence portends.

Abstract:
Health care in Nigeria is influenced by different local and regional factors that impact the quality or quantity present in one location. Due to the aforementioned, the health care system in Nigeria has shown spatial variation in terms of availability and quality of facilities in relation to need. However, this is largely as a result of the level of state and local government involvement and investment in health care programs and education. Also, the Nigerian ministry of health usually spends about 70% of its budget in urban areas where 30% of the population resides. It is assumed by some scholars that the health care service is inversely related to the need of patients.

Magister Public Health - MPH (Public Health)
The prevalence of diabetes in Africa has been on the increase. A prevalence of 1%- 10% has been reported by different authors in different regions in Nigeria. The International Diabetes Federation estimates that 1.9% of Nigerians are diabetic and most of them have complications at the time of diagnosis. Laboratory measurement of Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is the method of choice for monitoring glycaemic control but due to its cost and limited availability, most developing countries use fasting plasma glucose (FPG) measurement (which is less reliable) to assess glycaemic control. Most diabetic patients in Nigeria have poor glycaemic control and several factors have been implicated especially socio-economic, behavioral and treatment-related factors. Understanding the reasons for poor glycaemic control is essential in order to reduce the rate of diabetes complications.

Abstract:
L’évolution du système de pharmacovigilance au Nigéria a été associée à une croissance modeste et les hôpitaux universitaires ont été identifiés comme des partenaires importants du système de pharmacovigilance. Cependant, aucune étude n'a encore été réalisée sur les performances du système de pharmacovigilance dans les hôpitaux universitaires nigérians. Cette étude visait à évaluer l'état de la pharmacovigilance, en particulier les réactions indésirables aux médicaments dans le sud et le sud du Nigéria, en se référant à des médicaments sélectionnés. Le système de pharmacovigilance ainsi que le schéma posologique des médicaments ont été évalués à l'aide des indicateurs de pharmacovigilance de base de l'OMS et des indicateurs de prescription de base de l'OMS, respectivement. Cela a été suivi d'une intervention éducative avec des messages texte envoyés via le système de messagerie courte (SMS) pour améliorer les connaissances, l'attitude et la pratique de la pharmacovigilance parmi les professionnels de la santé. Le nombre, la qualité et le profil des effets indésirables du médicament ont également été évalués avant et après l'intervention. Les facteurs probables susceptibles de contribuer à une mauvaise notification des problèmes de pharmacovigilance ont été recherchés en effectuant une enquête sur les connaissances, la sensibilisation et les pratiques des professionnels de la santé travaillant dans la zone. Ces faiblesses de la pharmacovigilance étaient essentiellement. Les résultats ont montré que des structures étaient en place pour les activités de pharmacovigilance, même si certaines étaient peu fonctionnelles. Les indicateurs de processus et de résultat / impact ont révélé des systèmes de santé faibles et une attention générale insuffisante à la pharmacovigilance dans les hôpitaux. Il a également montré que, même si le groupe possédait une connaissance modeste et une perception juste de la pharmacovigilance, la pratique était médiocre et peu de réactions indésirables au médicament étaient répertoriées dans les bases de données des hôpitaux locaux. Celles-ci ont été attribuées à une connaissance insuffisante de la pharmacovigilance sur ce qui peut être signalé, à des processus de notification médiocres, à de fausses croyances selon lesquelles leur notification ne fera aucune différence et à la difficulté de déterminer les éléments à signaler. Une perception insuffisante de l’intérêt de la notification des effets indésirables. Les connaissances et les pratiques en matière de pharmacovigilance se sont améliorées, de même que le nombre de déclarations d'effets indésirables au médicament suite à une intervention éducative. Cette étude a également mis en évidence le profil des effets indésirables associés aux médicaments couramment utilisés dans la zone et les problèmes inhérents à la notification spontanée. Il souligne également que la pharmacovigilance, discipline en pleine croissance, peut être améliorée par des évaluations fréquentes du système, la formation des professionnels de la santé et le renforcement général du système de santé nigérian. Des études plus approfondies seraient nécessaires pour mieux évaluer la sécurité des médicaments dans cette population noire homogène
The evolution of the pharmacovigilance system in Nigeria has been associated with modest growth and teaching hospitals have been identified as important partners in the pharmacovigilance mechanism. However, there have been no studies evaluating the performance of the pharmacovigilance system in Nigerian Teaching hospitals prior to this time. This study set out to evaluate the state of pharmacovigilance specifically adverse drug reactions in South-South Nigeria. The pharmacovigilance system as well as the prescribing pattern of medicines was evaluated using the WHO Core Pharmacovigilance indicators and WHO Core Prescribing indicators respectively. This was followed by an educational intervention with text messages sent via the Short Messaging System (SMS) to improve the knowledge, attitude and practice of pharmacovigilance amongst healthcare professionals. The number, quality and profile of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) were also assessed before and after the intervention. Factors likely to contribute to poor reporting of pharmacovigilance issues were sought by conducting knowledge, awareness, and practice survey of healthcare professionals working in the zone.The findings showed that of the six teaching hospitals assessed, only three could be described as functional or partly functional although all had some structures in place for pharmacovigilance activities. The process and outcome/impact indicators revealed weak health systems and overall insufficient attention to pharmacovigilance in the hospitals as only one centre had committed their ADR reports to the National Pharmacovigilance Centre and there were few documented medicines related admissions ranging from 0.0985/1000 to 1.67/1000 admissions. It further showed that although a modest knowledge and fair perception of pharmacovigilance existed among the group, practice was poor as only 12% of the 811 healthcare Professionals had ever used the national ADR reporting form and there were few adverse drug reaction reports in the local hospital databases. These were attributed to insufficient awareness of pharmacovigilance on what can be reported, poor reporting processes, wrong beliefs that their reporting will not make a difference and difficulty in determining what to report. There was an improvement in the knowledge and practice of pharmacovigilance, with a 31.6% increase in the number of adverse drug reaction reports following an educational intervention. This study also highlighted the ADR profile to commonly used medicines in the zone and the inherent problems associated with spontaneous reporting. It further highlights that the growing discipline of pharmacovigilance can be improved through frequent assessments of the system, training of the healthcare professionals and general strengthening of the Nigerian healthcare system. More in-depth studies would be required to further evaluate the safety of medicines in the Nigerian population

Abstract:
Little is known about the role of the private sector in low and middle income countries moving towards universal health coverage (UHC). This thesis presents a case study of the role of the private sector (health maintenance organisations (HMOs) and healthcare providers) in the national health financing system in Nigeria. The analysis draws on both economic and policy analysis theories and frameworks. The analysis of the policy development process for national health insurance in Nigeria reveals that private sector actors and the political context influenced the pace and outcome of the policy-making process, including the institution of a role for HMOs to supply the government’s social health insurance (SHI) alongside their private health insurance (PHI) plans. However, an analysis of the market for the health insurance products supplied by HMOs revealed imperfect competition in the (PHI) sub-market which was characterised by product differentiation, multiple private pools, relatively higher premiums for benefits compared to the SHI, and adoption of harmful pricing strategies. The analysis of the agency relationship between HMOs as purchasers, and healthcare providers also revealed that healthcare providers respond to incentives created by the business strategies of purchasers, in such a way as to protect their own income, but their ability to do so rests on the distribution of power within the agency relationship. Finally, the weak regulatory system that emerged from the policy making process influenced (and was influenced by) the behaviours of actors in the HMO industry, and influenced the agency relationship between HMOs and healthcare providers. Overall, this thesis provides insights about the influence of context on policy processes for national health insurance proposals, and considers the effectiveness of PHI and private financing organisations in a national healthcare financing system that aims to achieve UHC.

Abstract:
Noma is a neglected non-contagious disease of the face and mouth affecting children living in extreme poverty. Due to the quick spread of the disease, the mortality rate is estimated at 90% when treatment is not started within two weeks of onset. Even though Hilfsaktion Noma e.V. (HAN) has been actively spreading awareness about the disease and offering treatment and reconstructive surgery, the mortality rate has not decreased. Moreover, patients reaching the noma centre often present severe sequela, affecting their speech, eating and drinking ability. Therefore, this study investigates the challenges faced by noma patients to seek medical care in Niger and how to overcome them. A mixed-method approach was performed; a survey among healthcare workers of HAN was supplemented with an interview with a key informant of the organisation in order to get a wider understanding of the possible challenges noma patients encounter. Accessibility to healthcare, as well as distance to the hospital and lack of transportation means were identified as the challenges with the highest impact on the health-seeking behaviour of noma patients. The lack of knowledge about noma and treatment costs were the second main challenge. This information gap is reflected in stigmatization, inadequate health care staff and seeking aid from traditional healers, which seriously endangers the life of patients. To overcome these challenges, a community-based surveillance system in combination with a multisectoral approach was proposed. This low-cost system can not only eliminate noma by facilitating the early detection of noma patients, but it can also contribute to sustainable health in Niger and other countries in the Noma belt.

Abstract:
1Department of Biomedical Engineering, Federal College of Dental Technology and Therapy. 2Department of Computer Science, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. 3Department of Computer Science, Enugu State University of Science and Technology. In this work, we highlighted the merits of IoT in tracking of Biomedical Equipment during and post the Covid-19 era. When the healthcare industry is poorly equipped, and the available medical equipment are not put in optimal use, it results in high mortality rate and low life expectancy of the population. In the beginning of this COVID-19 pandemic, lots of hospitals in developing nations were poorly equipped to contain the rise in COVID infected patients. Tracking of some medical equipment for prompt use became a problem as those that were not in regular use were difficult to be located to attend to patients. A visit to many hospitals in south-eastern Nigeria shows that there are a lot of obsolete and non-functional equipment in some healthcare facilities. Some of the equipment developed minor fault, but the institutions lacked experienced technicians with adequate skills to fix them back to working state. One of the ways to reverse this trend of lack of medical equipment in some hospitals is by managing them properly in order to locate and efficiently make the use of the available ones. This can be done by tracking the equipment for adequate repairs or overhauling and efficiently utilizing them for the purpose they are meant for. IoT technologies such as barcodes, Radio Frequency Identifications (RFIDs), Global Positioning System (GPS) Asset tracking and Near Field Communication (NFC) tracking are possible solutions to the existing poor health technology management conditions in our hospitals. This will put a stop to theft of hospital equipment, reduce wastage of time in locating those equipment in the hospital, optimize routine servicing of the equipment, which subsequently means a reduction in expenditure; as well as trigger a signal for decommissioning of the equipment when it has elapse its full life cycle. Tracking of biomedical equipment in our hospitals using IoT embedded technologies will assist to optimize the use of the available ones. This will ensure adequate health technology management operations in our hospitals, and help in the forecast for developmental budgets in the health sectors of the states in the country; which will result in robust policy making and implementation in the health sector.

Abstract:
Abstract Smartphones have become near ubiquitous on the global stage placing the power of both computational analytics and communication into the hands of users in both high and low-resource regions alike. The potential to leverage these devices to address inequities in healthcare are enormous. Our development team theorizes that we can create a medical device blending a traditional pediatric phototherapy irradiance meter for the treatment of neonatal jaundice with a mobile smartphone to create a reasonably priced irradiance meter with improved performance specifically for low-resource regions. The result of our work is a minimum viable prototype based on an Android operating system tethered wirelessly to a remote sensor that incorporates a clinical training feature. Based on laboratory tests simulating a clinical environment and field testing in Northern Nigeria, the results were equivalent to standard phototherapy meters with additional expected benefits of cost, mobility, access and clinical training.
