Difficulty in financing fracture care in south-western Nigeria: a prospective cohort study of predictors and recommendations for improvement
The findings suggest that improving people's socioeconomic status through job creation, women's empowerment, reduction of gender inequality, higher education, comprehensive health insurance coverage, and stronger family bonds, as well as preventive strategies to reduce the occurrence and severity of injuries, can improve fracture-care financing in low-resource settings.
