Objective: While infection prevention and control are of paramount importance, up until recently an assessment of implementation challenges and performance gaps was lacking. This study explored the barriers to infection prevention and control implementation at selected healthcare facilities, the objective being to find ways to improve their programs.
Material And Method: A qualitative approach was applied.
Background: The postnatal period implies a crucial and delicate time for both the mother and the newborn. There is a growing body of evidence that is increasingly pointing to mHealth interventions as a potential tool for improved utilisation of maternal and child health services, including postnatal care. This can promote the health of mother and baby during this delicate period.

Mobile health (mHealth) intervention through message reminders has resulted in significant increase in antenatal care utilisation in previous studies. However, its use in PNC services' uptake has not been adequately investigated in Nigeria.

This study examined the effects of HIV/AIDS preventive health education with parental involvement on students' attitude toward HIV/AIDS prevention in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.
Methods: The study population comprised students from three of nine secondary schools in the study area.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how common chewing problems are among older adults in relation to their body mass index, self-rated oral health, and oral hygiene assessment in a specific region of Nigeria.
- Results showed that 44.1% of elderly participants reported difficulties with chewing, particularly in the lower right quadrant, and many rated their oral health poorly, indicating a significant link between oral health ratings and actual oral conditions.
- The findings highlight the need for targeted health promotion focusing on oral health for the elderly, suggesting that further evaluation of traditional dental care products is necessary to improve outcomes.
