A landscape analysis of enablers and barriers to digital payments to health workers during large-scale immunisation campaigns in sub-Saharan Africa
BACKGROUND: Timely and consistent digital payment of health workers is crucial for improving the effectiveness of immunization campaigns and achieving the polio eradication goals by 2026. However, evidence on the enablers and barriers to digital payments in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is limited. OBJECTIVE: To explore the enablers and barriers to digital payments for immunization campaign health workers in eight selected SSA countries. METHODS: An e…
Associations between digital financial services and health campaign workers’ perceived satisfaction, motivation and performance in Nigeria
BACKGROUND: Understanding the association between digital payment services and health worker outcomes is critical to improving public health outcomes and optimising health workforce efficiency. This study examined the link between digital payment systems and health campaign workers' perceived satisfaction, motivation and performance in Nigeria. METHODS: A national survey was conducted among 821 polio immunisation workers who participated in campa…
Regional variation in Covid-19 vaccine uptake and intention in Nigeria
Globally, vaccination has been known to reduce the burden of infectious diseases such as COVID-19, with its effectiveness relying on public acceptance and widespread uptake. Despite the efforts put into the rapid development of SARS-COV-2 vaccines, uptake remains a major challenge in many countries especially those with large population dynamics like Nigeria. Most studies in Nigeria have assessed the uptake of the SARS-COV-2 vaccine among groups …

Improving testing capacity for Covid-19
Background: African countries leveraged testing capacities to enhance public health action in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper describes experiences and lessons learned during the improvement of testing capacity throughout the COVID-19 response in Senegal, Uganda, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Methods: The four countries' testing strategies were studied using a mixed-methods approach. Desk research on COVID…
What made primary health care resilient against Covid-19? A mixed-methods positive deviance study in Nigeria
INTRODUCTION: The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic overwhelmed some primary health care (PHC) systems, while others adapted and recovered. In Nigeria, large, within-state variations existed in the ability to maintain PHC service volumes. Identifying characteristics of high-performing local government areas (LGAs) can improve understanding of subnational health systems resilience. METHODS: Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, we …
Regional differences in the utilisation of antenatal care and skilled birth attendant services during the Covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial negative impact on the utilisation of essential health services (EHS) globally, especially in resource-limited settings such as Nigeria. High maternal deaths associated with low access to and utilisation of EHS such as antenatal care (ANC) and skilled birth attendants (SBAs) remain a concern during the COVID-19 era. The study assessed the COVID-19 pandemic effects on ANC and SBA utilisatio…
Consequences of school closures due to Covid-19 in DRC, Nigeria, Senegal, and Uganda
In 2020 and 2021, Governments across the globe instituted school closures to reduce social interaction and interrupt COVID-19 transmission. We examined the consequences of school closures due to COVID-19 across four sub–Saharan African countries: the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Nigeria, Senegal, and Uganda. We conducted a qualitative study among key informants including policymakers, school heads, students, parents, civil society represen…
Unintended consequences of implementing non-pharmaceutical interventions for the Covid-19 response in Africa
INTRODUCTION: The coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic is one of the most terrifying disasters of the twenty-first century. The non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) implemented to control the spread of the disease had numerous positive consequences. However, there were also unintended consequences-positively or negatively related to the nature of the interventions, the target, the level and duration of implementation. This article describes the uni…
Covid-19 surveillance in Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Senegal and Uganda
All the four countries demonstrated a prompt public health surveillance response and adopted similar approaches to surveillance with some adaptations as the pandemic progresses. There is need for investments to enhance surveillance approaches and systems including decentralizing surveillance to the subnational and community levels, strengthening capabilities for genomic surveillance and use of digital technologies, among others. Investing in heal…
Access to healthcare and social determinants of health among female migrant beggars in Ibadan, Nigeria

SP3-36 Utilisation of maternal health services among women of reproductive age group in a rural district, southern Nigeria
Introduction The Maternal mortality ratio is unacceptably high in Nigeria. A major remote cause of maternal death in Nigeria is poor utilisation of health services by women of reproductive age group. This study sought to determine the level of utilisation and factors associated with the use of maternal health services among women of reproductive age group in Egor LGA of Edo State. Methodology A cross-sectional descriptive survey was carried out a…
