The UNHCR 2017 report stated that about 44,400 people are displaced from their homes daily and about 68.5 million people are currently displaced globally. This article aims at critically analyzing the tuberculosis risks among displaced people especially as there is an increase in the number of migrants globally and proliferation of man-made and natural disasters. Research conducted among displaced persons and most of the studies concluded that active surveillance and proper case follow-up are the best ways to ensure adequate tuberculosis case management. In conclusion, the application of diverse methods in tackling tuberculosis risks should be especially through a culturally, acceptable precise and feasible plans without compromising international standards.
The incidence of malnutrition in Maiduguri came under global observation in 2015. It had been on the gradual decline prior to the year 2018 as reported by the United Nations in 2017. There has been an alarming resurgence of malnutrition cases within the year, 2018. This study is aimed at explaining the relationship between the resurgence in the incidence of Malnutrition within Maiduguri and the strong sociocultural practices among the indigent people within Maiduguri. It was found out that 54.67% of the 150 randomly selected respondents agreed to have had their Children being placed on RUTF by medical personnel. It also noted that about 54% of the entire respondents had no idea of the importance of the RUTF being prescribed for their children. About 39% of the entire sample population preferred the complementary feeding type to other feeding types. 56% of the respondents had their deliveries conducted at home while only 38% had theirs in the hospital. It is relevant to note that wrong health practices like wrong feeding practices, child marriages and poor health-seeking behaviors are one of the main drivers of malnutrition in our society. One of the most effective means of reducing the incidence of malnutrition is by tackling poverty and encouraging education of children irrespective of their gender or physical challenge.
