Tóm tắt

 The setting of realistic performance-based financing rewards necessitates not just knowledge of health workers' salaries, but of the revenue that accrues from their additional income-generating activities. This study examined the coping mechanisms of health workers in the public health sector of Nasarawa and Ondo states in Nigeria to supplement their salaries and benefits
  it also estimated the proportionate value of the revenues from those coping mechanisms in relation to the health workers' official incomes.
