The percentage distribution of breast cancer appears to be increasing. There were 1152 female cases in 2008 in comparison with 1308 in 2009, and 1473 in 2010. Breast cancer ranked first among females accounting for 27.4% of all newly diagnosed female cancers (5378) in the year 2010. The average age at the diagnosis of breast cancer was 48; weighted average was 49.8, and range 43-52., so we conducted A Quasi Experimental Study To Evaluate The Effectiveness Of Health Awareness Programme On Prevention Of Breast Cancer And Developing Skill On Breast Self Examination Among Women At Selected Area In Alnamas, Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia . 70 patients were selected by convenient sampling method.

Introduction: There is global reduction of childhood mortality rate but this is not reflective in child survival both in subSaharan Africa and South Asia which accounts for approximately 50% of global burden of childhood deaths. There are various causes of morbidity and mortality among children, these aetiologies also vary from country to country, though infectious diseases {diarrheal diseases, respiratory tract infections, malaria, measles, HIV/AIDS}, neonatal illnesses {neonatal infections, perinatal asphyxia, prematurity] and varying forms of malnutrition are the predominant causes of childhood illness and death in sub Saharan Africa. This study aim to review the pattern of childhood illness in a private paediatric hospital, determine the predominant cause of childhood morbidity in an urban area and evaluate the mode of payment. Methodology: This is a retrospective descriptive study of pattern of childhood illness in a private paediatric hospital in Lagos; Abby’s Paediatric Care, Omole Phase 2, Lagos, a 10 bedded paediatric facility. Detailed information of each hospital consultation/care was retrieved from the Electronic Medical Records [EMR] of the hospital consultations over a 2years period [August 2017-June 2019]. Data obtained were analyzed using the statistical package for social science version 22.0. Results: A total of 429 hospital consultations were made over the two-year period with M: F ratio of 1:1.1. Children aged between 12-60months constitute 51% of total cases seen within this period. 69% of total cases seen were due to infections and 17% were well visits. Also, 273 (64%) of the visits were paid out of pocket and only 64(14.9%) required hospital admission over the period reviewed. Conclusion: Infectious diseases still rank as the commonest cause of childhood morbidity in our environment and most patients still pay out of pocket for the management of their illnesses.
