Referral experiences of healthcare consumers
Introduction: The inadequate referral system in Nigeria is partly due to the proliferation of informal healthcare providers (IHPs) and constraints within formal providers in urban slums. With limited data on patient referral experiences across these providers, this paper explores referral experiences in urban slums in southeast Nigeria. Methods: This study involved 1,025 people in eight slums in Enugu and Anambra states, using multi-stage purposi…
Contribution and influence of social capital on corruption in the health sector

Specifically, we sought to determine whether these forms of supervision have any role to play in reducing health worker absent…
