Opis:
Primary Health Care (PHC) is implemented by the local governments in Nigeria based on the notion that healthcare service delivery is efficient when it is closer to people. With the adoption of analytical research through secondary sources of data, this study assesses the local government performance in PHC service delivery and examines the challenges it faced in the south-western Nigeria states of Lagos, Ogun, and Ondo in the period of 2010–2015. The findings showed various PHC programmes implemented by the local governments of the selected states, which include Maternal and Child Reduction, Investment Case and Eko Free Malaria in Lagos state, Araya and Gbomoro in Ogun state, as well as the Mother and Child Hospitals and Agbebiye in Ondo state. However, findings showed similar challenges encountered by the local governments, which include multiplicity of stakeholders in the disbursement of PHC funds, lack of fiscal decentralisation of revenue to the local government, diversion of PHC funds as compared to other projects, and poor community participation in PHC, irregularity of or interference in the local government elections by the state government, exclusion and deviation from the key principles of PHC and lack of continuity in PHC programmes implemented. The general conclusion from the study is that the local government performance in PHC service delivery is weak. In order to enhance the present local government performance in PHC, the study recommends for the application and implementation of local government constitutional role in the management of the PHC service delivery.

Opis:
Impact of Rectal Artesunate on haematological parameters was assessed in 905 children below the age of 5 years. Grid systematic method was employed in selecting sixteen study centres from 8 Local Government Areas of Ogun State. Ethical approvals were obtained in addition to interactive sessions with parents of the children and PHCs medical practitioners. Drug was administered at a dose of 5 to 10mg/kg of the body weight per rectum at 0 hour, 24 hours and 48 hours. Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 20 to assess association with p-value of < 0.05. Impact of Rectal Artesunate was monitored by analysing blood samples taken at 0 hour, 24 hours and 48 hours for Packed Cells Volume (PCV) and Haemoglobin concentration (Hb). There was a significant (p < 0.05) increase in baseline PCV (L/L) and Hb (g/L) during 48 hours across the LGAs. Parasitaemia (MPC/µl) in children has a significant (p < 0.05) association with anaemia (PCV and Hb) and was positively correlated (r = +0.348 and r =+ 0.201). A significant (p < 0.05) difference observed between MCV (fl), MCH (pg) and MCHC (g/L) at 0 hour and MCV (fl), MCH (pg) and MCHC (g/L) at 48 hours. More awareness on the use of Rectal Artesunate in reducing anaemia due to malaria in children should be created since it is highly effective antimalarial suppository.

Opis:
This study investigated the impact of credit access and cooperative membership on food security of rural households in Southwestern Nigeria. A multi stage sampling procedure was employed to select 300 rural households for the study. Data were analyzed using food security index, binary logit model, propensity score matching (PSM) and Augmented inverse probability weighting model (AIPW). Binary logit estimate reveals that age, household size, years of education, farm size, farm income and non-farm income significantly influenced the likelihood of rural households being members of cooperatives while household size, years of education, farm size, gender, asset and farm income significantly influenced the likelihood of rural households’ access to credit. Food security index revealed that about 66 percent of the households are food insecure. PSM revealed that cooperative membership and credit access is expected to increase the food security of rural households by approximately 1446 and 1496 kilocalories per person per day, respectively. AIPW revealed that cooperative membership and credit access is expected to increase the food security of rural households by approximately 1888 and 1899 kilocalories per person per day, respectively. The study concluded that credit access and cooperative membership has a positive and significant impact on food security of rural households. Thus, any programmes targeted at ensuring rural households’ food security, particularly southwest should take into cognizance their credit access and cooperative membership.

home management of malaria
treatment seeking behaviours
Opis:
Home management of malaria involves presumptively treating febrile children at clinic or near home with antimalarial drugs distributed by trained members of the community provide medications and educate primary caregivers about treatment of malaria and recognition of severe illness. Structured questionnaires were administered to the parents, health workers and patent medicine vendors to determine acceptability of rectal artesunate and treatment seeking behaviours. Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 20 to assess association with p-value of < 0.05. Current first line antimalarial drug for treating childhood malaria at the PHCs was artesunate derivatives (90.3%) with no usage of chloroquine derivatives (0%) and common route of administration was intra-muscular (81.4%) with least usage of rectal (6.2%). Patent medicine vendors showed that the common drug derivatives purchase for treating childhood malaria was chloroquine derivatives (89.2%) with oral (91.9%) as most common route of administration and no awareness of rectal route (0%). Cases of resistance of malaria parasites to anti-malarial drugs, mostly chloroquine derivatives (89.3%) and least with artesunate derivatives (7.1%) observed by health workers. Incomplete dosage (95.6%) and fake drug (84.9%) were described as main factors responsible for malaria parasite resistance. Patent medicine vendors have come across cases of resistance of malaria parasites to anti-malarial drugs mostly chloroquine derivatives (93.2%) with drug abuse (89.2%) and fake drug (82.4%). Treatment of malaria is challenged by inadequate health-care infrastructure and community-based interventions.

Opis:
Community-based case management of malaria has been shown to be effective in reducing mortality and morbidity. Overall total of 183 communities comprising 36(19.7%) communities in Egba Goe-Political Zone (GPZ), 56(30.6%) in Yewa-Awori GPZ, 43(23.5%) in Remo GPZ, and 48(26.2%) in Ijebu GPZ. There was a significant (p = 0.011) difference between preventive measures against malaria adopted for children across LGAs. Involvement in environmental management /sanitation as part of control measure (78.0%) can mostly help in tackling the adverse effects of malaria parasites transmission. They also agreed that mosquitoes breed majorly in stagnant water (77%) and Ponds (74.6%) and they did not always use (54.4%) their ITN/LLITN and their family mostly used ITN/LLITN during rainy season (84.4%). Fresh-water Rain Forest (44.3%) and Lowland Rain Forest (43.2%) are common forest vegetation types. Communities having plains topographical structure were more (91.3%) with close/compact (54.6%) type of settlement and are more densely populated (51.9%). Water bodies present are small rivers (100%). House type common in the communities was mud with iron sheets (100%) and drainage system (36.2%) was not common. Communities Involvement in environmental management/sanitation as part of control measure will reduce malaria parasite transmission.

Efficacy of Rectal Artesunate on parasitaemia and febrile condition of children was assessed in 905 children below the age of 5 years. Grid systematic method was employed in selecting sixteen study centres from 8 Local Government Areas of Ogun State. Ethical approvals were obtained in addition to interactive sessions with parents of the children and PHCs medical practitioners. Body weight and temperature were taken and drug was administered at a dose of 5 to 10mg/kg of the body weight per rectum at 0 hour, 24 hours and 48 hours. Efficacy of treatment was monitored by analysing blood samples taken at 0 hour, 24 hours and 48 hours for Malaria Parasites Count (MPC/µl), parasitized red blood cells (PRBC). Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 20 to assess association with p-value of < 0.05. A significant (p < 0.05) difference was observed between malaria parasites prevalence at 0 hour, 24 hours and 48 hours. Also a baseline mean malaria parasite density (MPC/µl) of 3,320/μl was observed at 0 hour and a reduction in mean MPC/µl of 1,230/μl and 420/μl at 24 hours and 48 hours respectively with a significant (p < 0.05) difference between MPC/µl at 0 hour, 24 hours and 48 hours. Baseline mean parasitized red blood cells (PRBC) of 4.2 % was observed at 0 hour with reduction in mean PRBC of 2.4 % and 1.1 % at 24 and 48 hours respectively with a significant (p < 0.05) difference between PRBC at 0 hour, 24 hours and 48 hours. Fever Subsidence Ratio between 0 hour, 24 hours and 48 hours were 1.4:1.1. Rectal artesunate is highly effective and well tolerated antimalarial suppository for pre-referral and parenteral therapy.

Opis:
Home management and treatment seeking behaviours of malaria was assessed among parents of 905 under five years children from 183 rural communities in 8 Local Government Areas (LGAs). Ethical approvals were obtained in addition to interactive sessions with parents and structured questionnaires were administered to the parents. Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 20 to assess association with p-value of < 0.05. A significant (p < 0.05) relationship observed between socio-economic factors and treatment seeking behaviours and preventive measures. There was no significant (p = 0.614) difference between symptoms observed in children across the LGAs. There was no significant (p = 0.061, p = 0.059, p = 0.071) relationship between parents demographic characteristics (age, sex and ethnicity) and preventive measures while educational status has a significant (p = 0.043) relationship. There was a significant (p = 0.042, p = 0.021) relationship between occupation and monthly income and preventive measures. Educational status was significantly (p = 0.013) related to knowledge on malaria while monthly income was not significantly (p = 0.201) related. Also there was a significant (p = 0.000 and p = 0.000) relationship between both educational status and monthly income and treatment seeking behaviours and are positively correlated (r = +0.101 and r = +0.136). Effectiveness of home management of malaria (HMM) and treatment seeking behaviours is challenged by the prevailing socio-cultural and economic issues.

Opis:
Borderland communities hold a strategic position in many countries. However, in spite of this, many of these communities, specifically in Nigeria, are still characterized by neglect and underdevelopment. Based on the above fact, this study explores the service deprivation and coping strategies of rural borderland communities in South-Western Nigeria. The study revealed that the majority of inhabitants of rural borderland (64.0%) get their water supply straight from streams and are bound to cover distances of 500 meters or longer to collect water. Similarly, the majority of them defecate in bush reserves around their houses. Also, the study showed that people can travel across the national border to neighboring countries on a regular basis to access basic services, like healthcare facilities. Likewise, medical personnel or attendants from neighboring countries or towns are called during critical or serious illness to render services which the Nigerian Government does not provide. The development of Nigeria’s frontier areas is therefore of paramount importance and really pending, and must be made priority in urgent and major developmental actions taken in the country.
Społeczności przygraniczne odgrywają strategiczną rolę w wielu krajach. Jednakże, pomimo tego faktu, wciąż aktualną, charakterystyczną cechą wielu z takich społeczności, szczególnie w Nigerii, jest zaniedbanie i niedorozwój. W oparciu o powyższy fakt zbadano poziom niedoboru usług i strategie radzenia sobie z nim przez społeczności przygraniczne w południowo-zachodniej Nigerii. Badanie wykazało, że większość mieszkańców obszarów wiejskich pogranicza (64,0%) zaopatruje się w wodę prosto ze strumieni i jest zmuszona do pokonania odległości 500 metrów lub więcej w celu zebrania wody. Podobnie większość z nich nie korzysta z toalet, lecz krzewów wokół swoich domów. Badanie pokazało również, że ludzie mogą regularnie przekraczać granice sąsiednich krajów, aby uzyskać dostęp do podstawowych usług, takich jak placówki opieki zdrowotnej. Jednocześnie, personel medyczny lub stażyści z sąsiednich krajów lub miast są wzywani w sytuacjach krytycznych lub poważnej chorobie, aby świadczyć usługi, których nie zapewnia rząd Nigerii. Rozwój obszarów przygranicznych Nigerii ma zatem ogromne znaczenie i musi stać się priorytetem w działaniach rozwojowych podjętych w tym kraju.
