Overview

Comparative analysis shows varying compliance with ICRP standards in Enugu hospitals, indicating room for improvement in radiological protection practices.

Key Points

  • Compliance with global ICRP standards varies widely among hospitals, highlighting areas needing improvement.
  • Private for-profit facilities demonstrate the highest compliance rates, with 82% achieving high standards.
  • A descriptive cross-sectional research design was used to gather data from 46 healthcare facilities in Enugu.
  • Findings identify factors affecting compliance levels, with government facilities lagging in radiological protection.
