“…There is no evidence of a maintenance plan for medical facilities and buildings in Gaza Strip as reported by Enshassi et al (2015). Akin (2005), Adenuga (2011), Aliyu et al (2016) and Abiodun and Adeyemi (2020) found that Nigerian hospitals environment, including the buildings, is calling for urgent maintenance. The complex nature of the health-care facilities abandonment may have contributed to the dilapidated state of the facilities.…”

“…The complex nature of the health-care facilities abandonment may have contributed to the dilapidated state of the facilities. Abiodun and Adeyemi (2020) affirmed that maintenance management has been neglected in public Nigerian hospital buildings. Adenuga (2011) asserted that majority of the Nigerian public hospital buildings are in appalling conditions.…”

“…Some may last longer without evidence of defects while others in less than a few years start to exhibit defects. In Nigeria, majority of the outstanding public hospitals were constructed before her independence in 1960 and coupled with poor maintenance culture over the past decades (Adenuga et al, 2007;Abiodun and Adeyemi, 2020). Adeyi (2016) affirmed that 55 years after Nigeria's independence, there is evidence of underperformance in health outcomes and coverage of basic health services compared to other countries at similar levels of economic development.…”

Purpose Health-care building maintenance has been receiving concern because of the recent global pandemic. However, there are inadequate broad studies affecting health-care facilities maintenance and feasible solutions in Nigeria. This study aims to conduct an all-inclusive review of public hospital building maintenance issues and proffer possible solutions to improve maintenance practices in health-care buildings via a framework that will support studies in the future. Design/methodology/approach A review of published papers from 2006 to 2020 was conducted. Based on the keywords, 3 pertinent databases were searched and descriptions of the findings from 40 studies were recognised and used in line with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Findings Two main themes (issues and feasible solutions to improve practices) emerged from public health-care building maintenance practices. The study developed a framework that describes the relationship between issues and possible solutions with an emphasis on how to improve human development, management efficiency, technical competence and professional skills, cost-minimisation and others. Practical implications As part of the paper implications, emerged issues were group into five categories (human development, management, technical, limited financial resources and others). The proposed framework for future studies will attempt to mitigate issues and proffer feasible solutions to improve hospital building maintenance practices in Nigeria and other developing countries that are facing similar challenges. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this paper is possibly the first comprehensive review of public health-care building maintenance practices in Nigeria. Moreover, this review demonstrates how the proposed feasible solutions can mitigate problems.

“…The importance of performance evaluation in health systems is increasing. Thus, the evaluation of the health care facility-performance should be of prime interest to governments, donor agencies as well as those who contribute in shaping and managing the healthcare system (Joachim & Adeyemi, 2017). Because, the increasing costs of healthcare systems also increase medical care costs in nearly all countries and cause their respective governments to reconsider their approach to health policies and systems (Roberts, Hsiao, Berman & Reich, 2008).…”

“…Performance measurement tools of health facilities and systems of all countries should be capable of improving management and ensuring prudent rationalization of resource allocation and mobilization of additional resources (Joachim & Adeyemi, 2017). Conducting regular evaluations of the performances of healthcare systems with convenient measurement tools is significant for countries that aim to provide efficient, effective, and sustainable health services along with the primary objectives of providing quality, fair, and equal health services to their citizens.…”

Behavioural risk factors are known to have an impact on countries' health system performance. Behavioral risk factors include habits such as alcohol consumption, smoking, and patterns of food consumption which might lead to different types of obesity among different age groups in every community. In the context of OECD countries, this study aims at investigating whether behavioral risk factors have an impact on healthcare system performance or not. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and then Ordinary Least Squares Regression (OLS) was utilized to bring into the open the factors that affect health performance scores of OECD countries. In OLS, the obtained health performance score was utilized as a dependent variable and alcohol and tobacco consumption and obesity rate were utilized as independent variables. According to the OLS results, The only variable that has a statistically significant effect on the health performance scores of OECD countries is the alcohol consumption rate. To reduce health expenditures and improve health system performance, OECD countries need to develop more effective, macro and micro, level policies to eliminate the negative effects of behavioral risk factors. Such policies might include health awareness campaigns and more strict taxing policies upon the risk factor products, in addition to increasing community-based healthcare services.
