The care is advancing but in resource-limited settings, it is lagging far behind and mortality is still higher due to various reasons. Therefore, we aimed to determine the admission patterns, clinical outcomes and associated...

Like many developing countries, Nigeria, is faced with a number of tradeoffs that pit rapid economic development against environmental preservation. Sustainable, “green” economic development is slower, more costly, and more difficult than unrestricted, unregulated economic growth.
