E-learning readiness from perspectives of medical students: A survey in Nigeria.

Context: Learning in the medical school of the study university is still by the traditional face-to-face approach with minimal e-communication.

Aim: This paper assesses student's perspectives of E-learning readiness, its predictors and presents a model for assessing them.

Settings And Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study of medical students.

Information, regulation and coordination: realist analysis of the efforts of community health committees to limit informal health care providers in Nigeria.

One of the consequences of ineffective governments is that they leave space for unlicensed and unregulated informal providers without formal training to deliver a large proportion of health services. Without institutions that facilitate appropriate health care transactions, patients tend to navigate health care markets from one inappropriate provider to another, receiving sub-optimal care, before they find appropriate providers; all the while incurring personal transaction costs. But the top-down interventions to address this barrier to accessing care are hampered by weak governments, as informal providers are entrenched in communities.
