    Open AccessWhenayon Simeon Ajisegiri, Seye Abimbola et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction: Nigeria's skilled health professional health workforce density is insufficient to achieve its national targets for non-communicable diseases (NCD) which include 25% reduction in the prevalence of diabetes and hypertension, particularly at the primary health care (PHC) level. This places a great demand on community health workers (CHWs) who constitute the majority of PHC workers. Traditionally, CHWs are mainly involved in infectious …

    Open AccessWhenayon Simeon Ajisegiri, Seye Abimbola et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

In Nigeria, the national government has prioritized PHC system strengthening as a means of achieving national NCD targets. However, strengthening PHC systems for NCDs require re-organization of PHC service delivery, b…

  • Aligning policymaking in decentralized health systems

    Open AccessWhenayon Simeon Ajisegiri, Seye Abimbola et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2021

    Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are leading causes of death globally and in Nigeria they account for 29% of total deaths. Nigeria’s health system is decentralized. Fragmentation in governance in federalised countries with decentralised health systems is a well-recognised challenge to coherent national health policymaking. The policy response to the rising NCD burden therefore requires strategic intent by national and sub-national governments. Thi…

  • Determinants of vaccination coverage in rural Nigeria

    Open AccessOlumuyiwa O Odusanya, Ewan F Alufohai et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008

    Eight years after initiation of this privately financed vaccination project (private-public partnership), vaccination coverage in this rural community is at a level that provides high protection (81%) against DPT/OPV. Completeness of vaccination was significantly correlated with knowledge of mothers on immunization and adequate attention should be given to this if high coverage levels are to be sustained
