A recent study conducted at the Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital in Nigeria focused on the characteristics and health insurance profile of brought-in-dead (BID) children in a rural tertiary hospital. The study found that infectious diseases were the most common presumed causes of death, with children under 5 bearing the greatest burden of BID. The research highlighted the need for improved healthcare choices, patient referral systems, death registration, and health insurance schemes in rural communities. For more information, the full report can be accessed through BMJ Paediatrics Open. [Extracted from the article] |
