1.1. Background: Worldwide Road traffic accident (RTA) is a huge public health and development problems killing nearly 1.2 million people a year and injuring or disabling between 20-50 million people worldwide; thus making the loss of US 518 billion dollars globally. According to World Health Organization, every day more than 3000 people die from road traffic accidents. Developing countries account for 90% of global road traffic deaths. Road traffic accidents are being the critical public health problem that causes disabilities and death in Nigeria which could need due investigations. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the Prevalence of Road Traffic Accident and Associated Risk Factors among Drivers in Bauchi State, Nigeria.1.2. Methods: cross-sectional study design was conducted among drivers in Bauchi State, Nigeria from December, 2020 to January, 2021. Data was collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was performed to obtain the frequency distribution of the variables. Results:The result shows that 300 participants responded to the questionnaire. The overall road traffic accident prevalence was 115 (38.3%). Conclusion:The prevalence of road traffic accident revealed in this study is of public health significance. RTA-related causalities are extremely high in Nigeria. Male young adults and vulnerable road users are at increased risk of RTA. The most perceived cause of road traffic accidents mentioned was an overcrowded road which is shared by drivers, pedestrians, and animals. There-fore, there is an urgent need for bringing road safety to the country's public health agenda. AIDS, tuberculosis and diarrhoeal diseases [9] and the deaths due to RTAs are predicted to become the fifth-leading cause of death

Tuberculosis is one of the major public health problems in Kano. With the occurrence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, little is known about the views of health care workers on this disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of healthcare professionals about prevention and control of Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) at Infectious Diseases Hospital (IDH), Kano, Nigeria. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Infectious Diseases Hospital (IDH), Kano, Nigeria from November, 2018 to December, 2018. Data was collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS software package (SPSS 16.0). Descriptive analysis was performed to obtain the frequency distribution of the variables. The results of this study indicate that, overall, less than half (68%) of respondents had good level of knowledge of MDR-TB; but the overwhelming majority of them held negative attitude towards patients with MDR-TB. In conclusion, less than half of respondents had good level of knowledge about MDR-TB, but 28.7% of them held negative attitude towards patients suffering from MDR-TB. Although the level of knowledge of MDR-TB was found not to have influenced the attitude of respondents towards patients suffering from MDR-TB; and that their attitude did not influence practices, good level of knowledge was positively associated with safer practices such as using protective masks, educating patients on MDR-TB, and referring to the MDR-TB guidelines manual. An educational remedial intervention and in-service training on the MDR-TB is recommended for all professionals especially primary health care workers.
