Health care provision in Nigeria  is a concurrent responsibility of the three tiers of government in the country. However, because Nigeria operates a mixed economy, private providers of health care have a visible role to play in health care delivery. The federal government's role is mostly limited to coordinating the affairs of the university teaching hospitals, while the state government manages the various general hospitals and the local government focus on dispensaries, (which are regulated by the federal government through NAFDAC). The total expenditure on health care as % of GDP is 4.6, while the percentage of federal government expenditure on health care is about 1.5%. A long run indicator of the ability of the country to provide food sustenance and avoid malnutrition is the rate of growth of per capita food production; from 1970–...

  Knee replacement is surgery for people with severe knee damage. Knee replacement can relieve pain and allow you to be more active. Your doctor may recommend it if you have knee pain and medicine and other treatments are not helping you anymore. When you have a total knee replacement, the surgeon removes damaged cartilage and bone from the surface of your knee joint and replaces them with a man-made surface of metal and plastic. In a partial knee replacement, the surgeon only replaces one part of your knee joint. The surgery can cause scarring, blood clots and, rarely, infections. After a knee replacement, you will no longer be able to do certain activities, such as jogging and high-impact sports.

Seattle's Children's Hospital is being investigated by the state's Department of Health following the deaths of two babies under the hospital's care in two days, reports the  Seattle Times .  The first child--a newborn whose name, age and gender have yet to be released--was being transferred from another hospital on Sept. 17, when an ambulance staffer administered an unauthorized medication. The child died shortly thereafter.  The second child, 8-month-old Kaia Zaunter, died on Sept. 19 after being given 10 times the necessary amount of calcium chloride.  A third patient at the hospital--an adult who needed immediate care--also was incorrectly given medication recently for respiratory distress, but recovered.

In March 2009,...

RA LARGE     People have been warned against paying for unnecessary, invasive and costly private health screening.   The UK National Screening Committee (NSC) said an increasing number of patients were seeking "reassurance" over their health. But many are paying for tests that are available on the NHS, the independent body said. The publicly-funded NSC has issued guidance on what stages of life people should be screened for various conditions. Dr Anne Mackie, director of programmes at the UK NSC, said some people were putting themselves through "unnecessary" anxiety. "Patients are increasingly turning to private screening companies for reassurance about their health and we hope this guidance will allow them to make the decisions that are best for them. The safety of patients is the most important factor," she said. Steven Laitner, a GP and consultant in public health medicine, said some tests can pose health risks if u...
