The role of the World Health Organisation and related funds on maternal and child health in Nigeria
14-31Views:64Maternal and child health is extremely important because it serves as the fundamental metric of a successful society or nation. This is because every successful conception of a child ensures that there is hope for a better world because each child has the potential to make a positive difference. The demands of mothers' health must be appropriately met since they have a significant impact on how birth will turn out and, thus, on the continuation of life. The purpose of this study is to provide light on the roles played over time by the World Health Organization, International Children's Fund, and United Nations Population Fund in influencing maternal and child health in Nigeria.
Using a well-established guide on performing systematic reviews and meta-analyses for medical research as well as PRISMA reporting criteria, systematic review was used to effectively search for data related to the steps taken by these multilateral organizations. After carefully evaluating all the publications acquired and ensuring that they met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, respectively, an electronic search was conducted on Google Scholar and PubMed, yielding 49 studies for systematic review. According to the research's design, the multilateral organizations engaged in the program, the measures taken by those organizations, the country, the target group whether it is for maternal or child health and the state or area in Nigeria where the study was conducted, the data were retrieved. The general quality of the included studies was not astounding this due to the fair rating most of the study received, the availability of the roles in form of intervention or programmes executed by the multilateral organizations involved in this study were very limited upon searching electronically implying that much qualitative and dedicated research on this theme needs to be adequately carried out.
This study demonstrates that the three organizations have had a significant impact on Nigeria over the years. However, the World Health Organization has contributed the most to maternal and child health, as evidenced by the targeted programs it has carried out in Nigeria over the years. One significant result of this program was the complete eradication of poliomyelitis in Nigeria. -

65-74Views:151With the support of the Debrecen County Municipality at Pósa Street No. 1., a nationwide unique school health program has been launched at the Health Development Institute, which establishment was inaugurated on the 11th of October 2019 as part of the Clinical Center of the University of Debrecen. As it is well known, within the framework of the school health care program, operating on the basis of NM decrees 26/1997. (IX. 3.), 51/1997. (XII. 18.) and 33/1998. (VI. 24.), primary and secondary school students participate in mandatory screening tests every two years - during the so-called "indicator" years (the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th). The goal of DAEFI is to centralise school health objectives and additional examinations as part of a particular model program. After the coronavirus epidemic, the 2021/2022 academic year was the first full term when the screenings defined by the legislation could take place with the coordination of DAEFI, which preventive measures, with parental consent, were supplemented with an EKG examination as well as Prevention Lectures. We are now presenting the experiences of this first year.

A A new element of palliative and hospice care in Hungary, the Hospice-Palliative Therapy Unit in Debrecen
48-57Views:210The hospice-palliative care developing as a bottom-up initiative in Hungary, has gradually integrated into the Hungarian healthcare system, continuously evolving to meet the demographic trends and public health challenges. Ensuring the dignity of patients while providing end-of-life care has become a universally accepted horizontal principle of healthcare. This trend has brought to life the establishment of dedicated palliative-hospice departments throughout the country: overall 96 hospice healthcare providers are operational, utilizing funds from the National Health Insurance Fund, foundations and other sources. The Hospice-Palliative Therapy Unit was opened in 2017 in Debrecen, with 20 chronic beds and 120 hour/day/month ambulatory home-care capacity. Currently the Unit is hosted in the University of Debrecen. The operation of the Hospice-Palliative Therapy Unit is supported by the Debrecen Hospice House Foundation ever since its establishment in 2015. The Fields of Dignity is an initiative widely open for the public that must be highlighted. This initiative brought substantial social innovation with its innovative program elements leading to the understanding and acceptance of hospice-palliative care.
In summary it must be articulated that albeit the focus of hospice care is the provision of end-of-life care, it fills a void by raising awareness of the value of life, honesty, mutual respect and caring. Hence the sustainable and continued operation of the hospice-palliative care the regional and national capacity and infrastructure is mandatory alongside the establishment of financing home-based care in agreement with the recommendations of the National Palliative Strategy.

The implications of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities for the care of psychiatric patients
47-56Views:74Dignity is considered the basis of human existence, and legislation seeks to ensure this for all people. This principle of equality requires that neither the state, nor society should discriminate between fellow human beings.
The prohibition of discrimination therefore reassures the principle of equality legal equality and lists disability
among the characteristics to be protected. Consequently, special attention must be paid to the protection of
the dignity and rights of persons with disabilities in all areas of life.
Following the promulgation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the related Optional Protocol, the harmonization of Hungarian regulations began based on the new definition of disability.
The new definition includes persons living with mental impairment. We will discuss the purpose and effect of
the legal instruments created and still being developed as a result of the Convention, as well as the additional
necessary measures to create equal opportunities for persons with mental disabilities within health care, focusing especially on psychiatric care.
