Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ijeoma Nkem Okedo-Alex"
- Ijeoma Nkem Okedo-Alex's research primarily focuses on the intersection of public health, maternal health, and policy-making, particularly in the context of Nigeria and broader African settings, addressing challenges such as maternal vaccination uptake, antimicrobial prescription patterns, and the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on socioeconomic conditions.
- Recent studies reveal significant gaps in knowledge and practices among health workers and communities regarding maternal health, the efficacy of preventive treatments, and self-medication behaviors, highlighting the need for targeted health education and policy interventions.
