Aspirations and realities of intergovernmental collaboration in national- level interventions
In Nigeria’s federal government system, national policies assign concurrent healthcare responsibilities across constitutionally arranged government levels. Hence, national policies, formulated for adoption by states for implementation, require collaboration. This study examines collaboration across government levels, tracing implementation of three maternal, neonatal and child health (MNCH) programmes, developed from a parent integrated MNCH stra…
Birth preparedness and complication readiness
Across several African countries, birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPACR) among pregnant women is poor. The practice of BPACR, though improving in recent years, is not commensurate with the knowledge available to pregnant women. Maternal health indices remain sub-optimal. This study evaluates the determinants of this “know-do’ gap among women receiving antenatal care at a secondary health facility in Benin City, Nigeria. A cross-sec…

The cost of maternal health services in low-income and middle-income countries from a provider’s perspective
Appraising and addressing design and implementation failure in global health
There have been recent concerns about the failure of several global health interventions. Interventions are considered to have failed when they are unable to achieve the intended results. Failure may be linked to how the intervention was designed (design failure) or how it was implemented (implementation failure). Recently, substantial efforts have been employed to improve the outcomes of health interventions. These efforts have led to the develo…
Covid-19 in West Africa
The world continues to battle the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
