Background: Despite the availability of effective vaccines, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake remains low in most resource-limited settings including Nigeria. Mobile health technology (mHealth) may empower patients to control their health, reduce inequalities, and improve the uptake of HPV vaccination.
Aim: The study will assess the effects of mHealth using short text messages on the uptake of HPV vaccination among mothers of unvaccinated girls aged 9-14 years and also determine the factors influencing the uptake of HPV vaccination among these mothers.
Background: Despite the availability of effective vaccines, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake remains low in most resource-limited settings including Nigeria. Mobile health technology (mHealth) has the potential to empower patients to manage their health, reduce health disparities, and enhance the uptake of HPV vaccination.
Aim: The "mHealth-HPVac" study will assess the effects of mHealth using short text messages on the uptake of HPV vaccination among mothers of unvaccinated girls aged 9-14 years and also determine the factors influencing the uptake of HPV vaccination among these mothers.
The high burden of anaemia during pregnancy underscores the urgent need to gain a comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to its widespread occurrence. Our study assessed the prevalence and the trends of moderate-to-severe anaemia (MSA) in late pregnancy (28 to 36 weeks) and then investigated the key determinants driving this prevalence among women in Lagos, Nigeria. We conducted a secondary data analysis involving 1216 women enrolled in the Predict-PPH study between January and March 2023.

- A study was conducted to explore the link between prenatal anaemia and the risk of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) among 1222 healthy pregnant women in Lagos, Nigeria.
- The analysis indicated that while initial results suggested a slight association between anaemia and PPH, further sensitivity tests showed no significant correlation after considering other factors like uterine fibroids and delivery methods.
- Ultimately, the findings concluded that prenatal anaemia does not have a significant impact on postpartum blood loss, challenging previous conflicting studies on the topic.
Background: The magnitude and risk factors for postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) have been extensively investigated, although little is currently known about the incidence and predictors of severe PPH, specifically among women affected by prenatal anaemia in Nigeria.
Objectives: The study determined the incidence and antepartum risk factors of severe PPH in anaemic pregnant women in five health institutions in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.
Methods: A secondary analysis was performed using the data of pregnant women with anaemia from the "" study that was conducted between January and June 2023.
