Abstract

Cholera remains a major public health concern in many developing regions, particularly in areas affected by conflict, displacement, and inadequate sanitation. Borno State, located in Northeastern Nigeria, has experienced recurrent cholera outbreaks due to a combination of factors, including poor access to clean water, overcrowded internally displaced persons (IDP) camps, and fragile healthcare infrastructure. Young adults (18-30 years) and children under 18 account for the majority of cases, with a slight predominance of females (53%) due to increased water-related activities. This study highlights key outbreak drivers, including contaminated water sources, lack of sanitation facilities, and low awareness of cholera prevention measures. Findings indicate that 48.7% of residents rely on untreated well water, 68.4% lack toilet access, and only 23.5% practice regular handwashing, contributing to recurrent outbreaks. In addition, limited vaccination coverage (22%) and knowledge gaps about cholera transmission and symptoms further increase vulnerability to annual cholera outbreaks. To mitigate future outbreaks, the study recommends improving water supply and treatment, enhancing sanitation infrastructure, and promoting hygiene education. Expanding cholera vaccination campaigns and strengthening community health education initiatives are also critical. Government agencies and public health stakeholders must prioritize these interventions to reduce cholera incidence and improve overall public health resilience in Jere LGA.

Abstract

Assessing pregnant women’s awareness of Rh incompatibility is crucial to avoiding and treating issues related to this illness, as the rate of miscarriages among young women is alarming and requires immediate care. Because of the kind of Rhesus factor they have, women in Nigeria miscarry every three months. Due to a lack of knowledge, some of these mothers are not aware of this fetal hemolytic illness. Some women relate the health event to spiritual conditions, beliefs and traditions. Medical research has demonstrated that the primary cause of the miscarriages that occur every three months of pregnancy is the Rhesus factor that certain women possess. This study aimed at assessing the levels of awareness and knowledge of the Rhesus factor among women in Imota, Lagos State, to determine the extent to which health institutions' communication strategies contribute to women's understanding and awareness of Rh factor, to ascertain the knowledge level of Rh factor, its implications in pregnancy and to determine how well media advocacy works to inform female residents of Ikorodu Local Government Areas, which include Imota, Isiu, Ijede, and Bayeku. The results showed that female residents of the selected areas in Lagos State, have not received enough media attention regarding the fetal hemolytic illness. The findings showed that, though the level of awareness of the Rhesus factor among the women in the State was high, the knowledge level of the Rh compatibility issues on maternal and child health and its implications in pregnancy was low.

Abstract

Malnutrition is a broad term commonly used to describe deficiencies, excesses, or imbalances in a person’s intake of energy and nutrients required for proper growth and function. This study investigates the socio-economic, dietary, and environmental determinants of childhood malnutrition in a rural Nigerian community. The findings reveal that malnutrition is most prevalent among children aged 1–2 years (33.1%), coinciding with the critical “first 1,000 days” of development. A higher prevalence among female children (61.5%) suggests potential demographic or sampling influences. The data also show that 69.0% of caregivers engage in farming, with only 7.2% employed in the formal sector, linking income instability and food insecurity to poor nutritional outcomes. Access to healthcare is limited for 60.6% of the population, further compounding the issue. Dietary analysis indicates a heavy reliance on carbohydrate-rich staples (41.5%) and low intake of protein, fruits, and vegetables, raising concerns about micronutrient deficiencies. Educational disparities also emerged, with 46.9% of caregivers lacking formal education, affecting their ability to implement optimal feeding practices. Statistically significant associations were found between meal frequency and child weight status (χ²(2, N = 335) = 264.98, p < .001), maternal education and supplement provision, and access to clean drinking water and malnutrition status. The study recommends that caregivers should focus on the first one thousand days to enable the prioritization nutrition interventions from pregnancy to age two through breastfeeding promotion, timely complementary feeding, and regular growth monitoring.
