Article Synopsis
- - Most rural hospitals in Nigeria built before 2005 lack adequate performance assessments for shielding barriers, risking overexposure to ionizing radiation for patients and staff.
- - A study conducted in a Jos hospital found that current shielding barriers are insufficient, as unshielded radiation doses were alarmingly high and exceeded safe limits.
- - There is a critical need for hospitals to assess and reinforce their radiation shielding materials regularly, especially with rising patient loads due to population growth, to ensure safety standards are met.
