Maternal health and nutritional Information form the cradle of healthy genetic development and population health, safeguarding the right to life and the quality of future livelihoods. Thus, this health and nutrition information often enables most females of reproductive age 15 to 49 years, globally, regionally and locally in western Kenya, to access quality, affordable and reliable health education on maternal health care and nutrition, and to mediate a primordial prevention and reduce maternal disease burden rates. It also promotes health demography and human development, through prevention and protection missions of public health, via community health awareness and capacity building, empowering population health and promote a healthy population. This is achieved by enabling regular health education on maternal and child nutrition, for better primary prevention than cure among rural females of the reproductive age and the larger population health through synergistic community participation. It was these reasons that led to the study, which aimed to evaluate the factors influencing increased accessibility to maternal and nutritional health information and their effects on reproductive health practices among rural females of reproductive age (15–49 years) in Western Kenya. Specifically, the study focuses on determining the prevalence of population health in the accessibility to affordable maternal health and balanced diet nutrition practices, determining the level of community participation in the promotion on maternal child health nutritional health education/information for quality  primordial prevention and decrease of maternal child health and nutrition, and lastly assessing how social economic, social cultural and religious beliefs influence the increased accessibility of maternal child health and nutrition health information on maternal health nutrition practices among rural females of the reproductive age in Western Kenya. The study also aimed to achieve in global health goals number 3 and 17 of Vision 2030 and beyond, in global health. Over 80% of community households have limited access to efficient, affordable, reliable, and sustainable quality maternal child health and nutrition information to promote primordial prevention in the general basic health population, especially in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA), through capacity building of health service providers and community health workers (CHWs), as their main sources of accessibility of maternal child health information, in the large diversified society of demographic health population and development, to improve the health population of the population health and their health live hoods. The study exploited descriptive, cross-sectional, cohort and triangulation designs. Purposive clusters, census retrospective and prospective sampling techniques were used to explore the ante and postnatal mothers with children aged 0-24 months as the target population. The questionnaire used as tool of survey and key informant interview and focused group discussion (FGD) was used in interview guides. Data was managed by SPSS version 27 and analysed by cross-tabulation of descriptive and inferential statistics to provide a significant inference. Results showed that health service providers and community health workers were the main sources of providing quality health education/information 97 (46.2%) and 69 (32.9%) respectively, with significant support from the global health of RR (0. 463, 0.335). The prevalence of the increased accessibility of maternal health nutrition was health/education information 101 (48%). Community awareness on the uptake of balance dietary intake from both animal proteins and plant was 67%, and majority opined significant uptake of animal protein was determined by social cultural with P value of 0.025, 95 % CI, and social economic has an influence remain insignificant with OD 1.0 and RR (0.25, 0.345), due to existing synergistic public private partnership global health to decrease unmated needs in the inequality at maternal health and nutrition community households. Need to advocate for more global health in public-private partnership participation to mediate the unmet basic needs of maternal health, nutrition and need to partner with urban reproductive of reproductive in issues of maternal health and nutrition, mediate global maternal health and nutrition global health goals number 3 and 17 of Vision 2030 and beyond to sustain quality global livelihoods and population health development.

Use of Cochlear Implant among People of Jos, North Central Nigeria: Societal and Financial Challenges | Chapter 10 | Current Progress in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 This episode examined the challenges of Cochlear implants (CI) users in Jos, Nigeria. Cochlear implants (CIs) have convinced to be a useful situation option for things with severe-to-deep hearing loss by providing enhanced access to one's encircling auditory environment. CIs disagree from traditional audile amplification by providing information to the hearing system via energetic stimulation. Access to cochlear implants in underdeveloped countries is not without challenges. The study comprises 41 accused, 16 out of 30 Cochlear Implant consumers in Jos responded to the questionnaire. Thirteen (13) folks of the cochlear implant us- ers and twelfth (12) ENT personnel doctors and nurses formed the sample breadth. CICQ questionnaire was used to wrest data from the respondents. A plain percentage was used to analyze the dossier. The results revealed that 62.5% of the CI users lived beneath 100,000 Naira (USD244) as their yearly income. Cochlear Implant appurtenances such as batteries, extrinsic devices, cords, and services or repairs are very high-priced yet they don’t last long. We also should travel a long distance to access winding implant mapping that costs us a portion in terms of transport fares. The majority (93.75%) have harsh to profound hearing deficit bilaterally but used CI unilaterally.  The cost of CI accessories and presidency, as well as their accessibility, have an affect the economic, public, and psychological lives of CI users and their classification members. The demand for CI in their facility is completely strong, and managing CI consumers is very difficult due to lacking people, capital, and equipment, according to ENT organization.
