Rule out Medical Librarians in Primary and Secondary health facilities. It only exist at tertiary level such as teaching and specialized hospitals. This is in most part of Northern Nigeria, I do not know what obtains in the southern part.
It is important to understand the need for these Medical librarians and their responsibilities. They help in knowledge management, documentations of valued books and journals. They will continue to play keys roles even if elibraries are well developed and utilized.
