Perspectives
As someone deeply invested in public health, I find this publication particularly compelling. The focus on paediatric emergencies in rural Nigeria highlights a critical area that often goes unnoticed. The dedication of primary healthcare workers in these settings is commendable, yet their need for enhanced training and resources is evident. This study not only sheds light on the current skill levels but also emphasizes the urgent need for targeted interventions. Improving the capabilities of these healthcare workers could significantly impact child health outcomes, making this research a vital contribution to public health efforts in Nigeria
