Abstract

Biomedical waste management is a serious issue to health and environment that must be addressed at primary health care level, especially in Bauchi local government area of Bauchi state. The objectives of this study were to assess on the knowledge, methods and problems of biomedical waste management among the primary health care workers in some selected Health Care Centers of Bauchi L.G.A. of Bauchi state. A cross sectional study was employed and sampling techniques were used to distribute a questionnaire and interview among the health workers at twenty (20) selected primary health centers with (200) sample respondents from public and private health care centers. The result from the current study shows that the knowledge of biomedical waste management awareness among the workers was represented (94%), and only (6%) were not aware. The majority of PHC workers practiced open dumping and burning method (74%), incineration (7%), chemical treatment and only 1% for autoclave methods. while, microwaving (0%), encapsulation (0%) and sanitary landfill methods (0%) were not practiced. The problems of biomedical waste management included improper planning (33%), insufficient funds (25%), lack of material (19%) and (15%) lack of staffs training. There was improper segregation, lack of planning, lack of funds and practiced open dumping and burning, which is against the biomedical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules of 2016. There was improper biomedical waste management at primary health care level in Bauchi local government of Bauchi state. Thus, the Bauchi government should give more consideration towards good plan, allocation resources, set a committee of adequate supervision, monitoring and evaluation for the sustainable biomedical waste management at Bauchi local government of Bauchi state. .

Abstract

A region like Sokoto that is been challenged by series of problems such as double burden of diseases, malnutrition, and food insecurity should utilized the available fruits for their inherent nutrient’s compositions. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the proximate and elemental contents (sodium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) in gingerbread plum (Neocarya macrophylla) fruit which are essential for normal growth and development of body tissues for the human health. Neocarya macrophylla fruit is screened for certain nutritionally needed elements and proximate compositions using standard methods. Results obtained show that, crude protein with (2.70 ± 0.0057%) has the lowest concentration, the moisture content was 5.83 ± 0.57 percent, ash content was 5.33 ± 1.54 percent, crude lipid was 5.23 ± 0.15 percent, and crude fiber was 13.33 ± 4.48 percent. The determined levels of mineral elements (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium) reveal 30.25000 ppm, 4.9001 ppm, 90. 1000 ppm, 40.563 ppm, and 67.5601 ppm, respectively. Therefore, the plant is nutritious and vital for metabolic processes.
