Description
Faith Oniyire and co-authors assess primary health care centers across Lagos State, Nigeria, in a 2025 paper. The team surveyed 279 of the state's 319 centers in six health districts with electronic field forms. They checked buildings, services, and staffing against national guidelines, and tested for gaps between districts.
Only a bit over a third of centers had service rooms, about half had working toilets, and under a quarter had staff housing. Just over half were over burdened. Delivery rooms and maternity wards sat near sixty percent. Staffing was thin: nurse and midwife presence was the lowest of the roles checked. The map of gaps can guide state investment.
