摘要

神经退行性疾病(NDs),如阿尔茨海默病(AD)和帕金森病(PD),是世界范围内日益严重的公共卫生问题,其负担在包括尼日利亚在内的低收入和中等收入国家尤为严重。这一观点突出表明,迫切需要制定有针对性的公共卫生战略,以解决这些疾病日益流行的问题,重点放在尼日利亚的预防、早期发现和管理方面。由于人口老龄化和医疗基础设施有限,尼日利亚在诊断和治疗NDs方面面临着独特的挑战。文化因素,如对认知能力下降的耻辱感和误解,进一步使及时干预复杂化。本文探讨了目前为防治这些疾病而实施的公共卫生战略,包括改变生活方式、国家政策制定和公私伙伴关系。它强调需要以社区为基础的规划,初级卫生保健和神经病学的整合,并提高认识,以减轻非传染性疾病的社会负担。此外,手稿讨论了培训医疗保健提供者和传统和现代医学在加强护理的整合的重要作用。它呼吁采取一种协调的、与文化相关的方法来应对尼日利亚日益增多的神经退行性疾病,并就政策改革、加强卫生保健系统和加大研究投资提出建议。

Building healthcare capacity for neurodegenerative disease management in Nigeria: Challenges and opportunities.

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are growing public health concerns worldwide, and their burden is particularly severe in low- and middle-income countries, including Nigeria. This perspective highlights the urgent need for tailored public health strategies to address the rising prevalence of these diseases, focusing on prevention, early detection, and management in the Nigerian context. With an aging population and limited healthcare infrastructure, Nigeria faces unique challenges in diagnosing and treating NDs. Cultural factors, such as stigma and misconceptions about cognitive decline, further complicate timely intervention. The paper explores the current public health strategies implemented to combat these diseases, including lifestyle modifications, national policy development, and public-private partnerships. It emphasizes the need for community-based programs, the integration of primary healthcare and neurology, and increased awareness to reduce the societal burden of NDs. Additionally, the manuscript discusses the essential role of training healthcare providers and the integration of traditional and modern medicine in enhancing care. It calls for a coordinated, culturally relevant approach to addressing the rising tide of neurodegenerative diseases in Nigeria, with recommendations for policy reform, healthcare system strengthening, and greater research investment.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Public Health Research (JPHR) is an online Open Access, peer-reviewed journal in the field of public health science. The aim of the journal is to stimulate debate and dissemination of knowledge in the public health field in order to improve efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of public health interventions to improve health outcomes of populations. This aim can only be achieved by adopting a global and multidisciplinary approach. The Journal of Public Health Research publishes contributions from both the “traditional'' disciplines of public health, including hygiene, epidemiology, health education, environmental health, occupational health, health policy, hospital management, health economics, law and ethics as well as from the area of new health care fields including social science, communication science, eHealth and mHealth philosophy, health technology assessment, genetics research implications, population-mental health, gender and disparity issues, global and migration-related themes. In support of this approach, JPHR strongly encourages the use of real multidisciplinary approaches and analyses in the manuscripts submitted to the journal. In addition to Original research, Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, Meta-synthesis and Perspectives and Debate articles, JPHR publishes newsworthy Brief Reports, Letters and Study Protocols related to public health and public health management activities.
