dc.description.abstractInfectious diseases have been the major causes of death in children and adults killing them before they had a chance to die of something else. The major diseases of children in Nigeria and other part of Africa are malaria, diarrhea, respiratory diseases, particularly pneumonia, and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (United Nations Children Fund, 2012). Other diseases include preterm complications, typhoid fever, yellow fever, meningitis, neonatal sepsis, measles, congenital abnormality, tetanus, pertussis, scabies/boils chickenpox, diphtheria, influenza. measles. polio. whooping cough among others. This atlas presents the prevalence of diseases among children of under-age five years in Northern Nigeria as well as the distribution of Health facilities in sampled states.. The mapping of variation in the prevalence of childhood diseases among children under five years in Northern Nigeria and the mapping of spatial distribution of health facilities in sampled states will help in allocating scarce resources for public health interventions. The spatial scope of this study was limited to Northern Nigeria consisting of the North-East, North-West and North-Central geo-political regions of the country. Northern Nigeria is located within latitudes 09°N and 13°N and longitudes 03°E and 15°E having a total land mass of 660,000km2. In the Northern end, it is bounded by Niger and Chad Republics, Benin Republic in the West and Northern Cameroon in the East. Northern Nigeria is made up of three Geopolitical zones (North-Central, North-East and North-West zones) consisting of 19 States in all as shown in Figure 1.1. The North-Central Zone consists of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Benue, Plateau, Kogi, Nasarawa, Niger and Kwara States. The North-East Zone consists of Bauchi, Gombe, Borno, Yobe Taraba and Adamawa States while the North-West Zone consists of Kebbi, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina.Zamfara, Jigawa, and Sokoto States. The States involved in the study in each geo-political zone were FCT, Benue State and Kwara State (North-Central), Gombe and Adamawa States (North-East) and Kebbi State and Kaduna State (North-West) (Figure 1.2).
