The WHO in collaboration with the Nigeria Federal Ministry of Health, established a nationwide electronic data platform across referral-level hospitals. We report burden maternal, foetal and neonatal complications quality outcomes care during first year.Data were analysed from 76,563 women who admitted for delivery or on account within 42 days termination pregnancy September 2019 to August 2020 54 hospitals included Maternal Perinatal Database Quality, Equity Dignity programme.Participating...
Background: Cervical cancer poses a major public health challenge, especially in low-resource settings where advanced screening is scarce. Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) and Lugol’s Iodine (VILI) serve as alternatives to HPV testing. This study evaluates their concordance testing for cervical Imo State, Nigeria. Materials Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted from February June 2023 across three geopolitical zones of State. total 257 women underwent VIA, VILI, DNA Sensitivity,...
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of maternal mortality. A new clinical intervention (E-MOTIVE) holds potential to improve early PPH detection and management. We aimed develop pilot implementation strategies support uptake this in Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania.

To examine the prevalence, perinatal outcomes and factors associated with neonatal sepsis in referral-level facilities across Nigeria.
Objective Ovarian cancer in Black women is common many West African countries but relatively rare North America. have worse survival outcomes when compared to White women. histotype, diagnosis, and age at presentation are known prognostic factors for outcome. We sought conduct a preliminary comparative assessment of these across the diaspora. Methods Patients diagnosed with ovarian (all histologies) between June 2016-December 2019 Departments Pathology 25 participating sites Nigeria were...
To evaluate the feasibility and performance of self-collected vaginal swab samples for HPV screening among women in Lagos, Nigeria.A cross-sectional study was implemented from March to August 2020 sexually active women. Study participants provided same-day paired samples. Medic-sampling poster-directed self-sampling methods were used collect two per participant. A real-time PCR assay detected 16, 18, other-high-risk (OHR) HPV, human β-globin gene. The samples' sensitivity, specificity,...
Exercise has been shown to reduce blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive patients.However, studies reporting reduced BP from chronic exercises might disregard an acute effect exercise could have on BP.Aerobic dance is one of the commonly recommended for pregnant women without complications.The study aims determine aerobic moderate intensity, normotensive women.Pre-test/post-test research design involving 24 not less than 12 weeks gestation who volunteered among attending antenatal clinic at...

This study investigated effect aerobic training on cholesterol level women with gestational diabetes....
Introduction Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a risk factor for cervical cancer, the fourth most common cancer among women globally. Its burden highest in sub-Saharan Africa, with over 90% mortality. Interventions may fail without evidence-based data on stratified prevalence and factors at-risk across Nigeria. Methods A cross-sectional comparative study, participants recruited from Nigerian Institute of Medical Research’s Clinics, NGO outreaches, screening centre university teaching...
This was a Pre-test/Post-test research designed to study the acute heart rate response of pregnant women aerobic dance exercise. Twenty four (24) with no complications participated in this study. HR increased significantly after 30 minutes exercise [7.292, P = 0.004 (P 0.05)]. Moderate intensity Aerobic Dance Exercise may not precipitate adverse cardiorespiratory complications.
