Project Body:


CHAPTER ONE

1.0     INTRODUCTION

Since Nigeria got her independence in the year 1960, the federal government has been doing a lot in the following sectors:- Agric-culture, Education, Industries, Health Services, Banking among others.

In the area of Health Services, the government's efforts has been to ensure that she achieves good health for all especially women children.  The evidence of her effort is made manifest in the construction of many public health institutions through out the states.  These include the following: Hospitals, Health Centres, Health Clinics, maternities and Mobile Clinics.

 

Recently, there has been a general increase towards health improvement, this is as a result of greater awareness, better organization, increased public health consciousness, changes in medical practices among others; however, these advances may appear insignificant when compared to the magnitude of the problems still to be solved especially as it concerns infant diseases and infant mortality.

According to the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary, Mortal means to die; that cannot live forever.  Encyclopedia Britannica expressed the state of being mortal as the state of temporalness of living, or not to live forever.

In these modern times there have been an increase in world population and stability ad decline in number would be regarded as abnormal.  As Berkley (1958) said, “modern phrase of recent origin started from the peiod of 1600; the growth is quite unprecedented in any comparable period”.  One can view from the above statement, that such changes in population are inherently transitory.
