The gendered drivers of absenteeism in the Nigerian health system
The ability to deliver primary care in Nigeria is undermined by chronic absenteeism, but an understanding of its drivers is needed if effective responses are to be developed. While there is a small but growing body of relevant research, the gendered dynamics of absenteeism remains largely unexplored. We apply a gendered perspective to understanding absenteeism and propose targeted strategies that appear likely to reduce it. We did so by means of …
Role of trust in sustaining provision and uptake of maternal and child healthcare
Despite increasing attention to implementation research in global health, evidence from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) using realist evaluations, in understanding how complex health programmes work remains limited. This paper contributes to bridging this knowledge gap by reporting how, why and in what circumstances, the implementation and subsequent termination of a maternal and child health programme affected the trust of service users…

The first step in tackling corruption systematically is to understand it…
