Prevalence of Diseases inInternally Displaced Persons Camps during Climate Change (Flooding) in a Low-Income Setting. Med Discoveries. 2024; 3(4):1140.An open access journal of science and medicineAbstractObjectives: To determine the common diseases in the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps during theflooding.Methods: The study was conducted in IDP camps in Anambra State, south-east Nigeria during the last quarter of2022 (October to December 2022). Secondary data obtained from patients’ record booklets was used. A total num-ber of 19,080 people were in the camps. The researchers went through the patients’ records in various IDP campsto collect data on different diseases diagnosed. The primary outcome measure was the prevalence of the disease.Descriptive statistics are presented as means and standard deviations for continuous variables and numbers andpercentages for categorical variables.Result: Common cases managed in the camp included malaria, gastroenteritis, respiratory tract infection, en-teric fever, diarrhea, arthritis, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and trauma. The three most prevalent diseases aremalaria, respiratory tract infection, and hypertension. There were also significant cases of diarrhea-like illnesses.There was a total of 419 visibly pregnant women in the various IDP camps and a total of 8 deliveries (including acesarean section). There were more women of reproductive ages and under-fives in the camp. A total number of2027 cases were managed in the camps, these cases were more in under-fives. The mobile clinics had links withhealth facilities around the IDP camps. This helped in the prevention of under-five mortality and management ofsevere illnesses.Conclusion: The findings of this study revealed that the residents of IDP camps are exposed to vector-bornediseases and infectious diseases. The study revealed that there are no permanent camps and a lack of inadequateLong-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) in the camps which can be used to reduce the prevalence of vector-borne dis-eases in camps. Efforts of government, philanthropists, non-governmental organizations, donors, and individualsshould be geared towards providing permanent camps, adequate LLINs, health personnel, and logistics in camps.Keywords: Climate change; Flooding; Internally displaced persons; Vector-borne diseases; Diarrhea.
