The study aimed to assess health care financing and experience of financial hardship in seeking health care among urban and rural households in Ekiti State, Nigeria. \u0000Methods: This was a comparative, cross-sectional study. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 420 households each in the rural and urban areas.

Only 10 (2.4%) of the ruralrespondents and 20 (4.8%) of the urban respondents were on health insurance. \u0000Conclusion: A high proportion of the study population experienced financial hardship and there is high dependence on out-of-pocket financing.

A lack of RMC is a key factor driving both the low proportions of facility-based deliveries and high maternal and neonatal mortality. This study was conducted to assess the experiences and predictors of RMC among women of reproductive age in Benin City, Edo State. \u0000Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among mothers in Benin City, who had facility-based childbirth within three months of the study. Respondents were selected using a two-stage sampling technique. Data was collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. RMC was assessed using 15-item RMC scale in four domains and analysed using IBM SPSS version 22.0. Binary logistic regression was conducted to determine significant predictors of RMC. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. \u0000Results: A total of 393 women with a mean age (SD) of 33.42 (7.4) years participated in the study. Overall, 141 (35.9%) of respondents experienced RMC. Friendly care, abuse free care, timely care and discrimination free care were experienced by 147 (37.4%), 211 (53.7%), 252 (64.1%), and 124 (31.6%) respectively. Formal education [AOR = 0.318 (0.106-0.956)], primiparity/multiparity [AOR = 0.527 (0.294-0.945)] and use of public facility for childbirth [AOR = 1.623 (1.047-2.516)] were significant predictors of RMC. \u0000Conclusion: The proportion of respondents who experienced RMC was low in the studied population.

These measures are best applied using existing framework for healthcare delivery and epidemic response such as the ward health system (WHS). The structure of the WHS is interrelated to that of the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) system for effective surveillance and outbreak response in the community. This paper examines the established pattern in disease prevention and the role of the WHS system in COVID-19 pandemic response in Edo State, Nigeria. \u0000Discussion: Disease prevention seeks to avert the occurrence of disease, arrest its progress, and reduce its consequences once it is established. The various taskforce and committees that were formed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Edo State were not integrated with existing local government Epidemic Preparedness and Response committees and the Rapid Response Teams. They also had no links with the already established ward development and village development committees in the communities. \u0000Conclusion: There is an existing framework for disease prevention and control based on the WHS in Edo State, however, this system was not integrated into the COVID-19 pandemic response activities. Incorporating and strengthening partnerships with the existing WHS framework would be key for effective pandemic response in the future.","PeriodicalId":337808,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Medicine and Primary Health Care","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132480092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to examine fire safety (FS) knowledge of workers and preparedness measures in Federal Medical Centre Umuahia, Nigeria.Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 27 buildings and 310 employees from different units and departments, recruited by convenient non- probability sampling technique. A walk-through observational checklist and self-administered questionnaire were used to collect data which was analysed with SPSS software, version 20.

Only 28 (9.0%) had received training on FS, 109 (35.2%) knew how to operate a fire extinguisher, while 139 (41.9%) had knowledge of the location of fire extinguisher in their workplaces. Twenty-six (8.4%) knew the emergency number(s) to call if fire occurs. Only 107 (34.5%) of them had good knowledge of fire safety. Training on FS was significantly associated with knowledge of fire safety (p=0.026). All the buildings lacked necessary measures for FS.Conclusion: FS knowledge and level of preparedness were unsatisfactory in the hospital, which may constitute serious threat to the safety of workers and patients. The hospital management should implement regular FS training programmes for the workers to improve their knowledge, as well as put in place other FS measures.","PeriodicalId":337808,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Medicine and Primary Health Care","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130285903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Food system unsustainability has been shown to be the main driver for continued food insecurity and subsequent malnutrition. This paper discusses key issues pertaining to child nutritional status in Nigeria within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and highlights the importance of adopting a sustainable food system framework that ensures food and nutrition security for all including children.Discussion: The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the weaknesses in the food system, in addition to those already caused by other factors such as conflicts, climate change, demographic and economic factors, amongst others. Food systems, through diets, give rise to nutrition and health outcomes as well as those related to the dimensions of sustainability (environmental, economic, and social). The complex nature of the food system and its interactions with food and nutrition security requires adoption and practice of more effective food policy framework that embraces four critical policy shifts that support all dimensions of food security and transformation pathways which address the negative impacts of the drivers of food security.Conclusion: The need for the government to adopt a sustainable, resilient, and efficient food policy that appreciates the complexity of food systems drivers and outcomes cannot be overemphasized. This is essential for upholding the right to adequate food as well as ending hunger, and malnutrition in all its forms for all children.

This study aimed to determine and compare COVID-19 vaccine acceptability and factors influencing it among rural and urban community members in Ogun State.Methods: The study was a comparative cross-sectional study. Multistage sampling technique was utilized to select 404 and 396 adult residents from the urban and rural communities, respectively. Data collection was by structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were done. Level of significance was set at p<5%.Results: More respondents in urban area 186 (46.0%) were willing to accept COVID-19 vaccine compared to rural respondents 90 (22.7%) (p<0.001). Acceptance that COVID-19 is real (AOR=2.98; 95%CI=1.61-5.51 p<0.001) versus (AOR=2.17; 95CI=1.06- 4.44 p=0.035) predicted acceptability in both urban and rural areas, respectively. In urban area, being a male (AOR=1.58; 95%CI=1.02-2.44 p=0.041) while in rural area, completion of immunization (AOR=3.47; 95%CI=1.79-6.72 p<0.001) and fair perceived risk of contracting COVID-19 (AOR=3.05; 95CI:1.55-6.01 p= 0.001) were predictors of acceptability.Conclusion: The study showed there was overall poor acceptability of COVID-19 vaccine among urban and rural residents.
