Doctors, medical consultants and other health care providers depend on medical records to provide appropriate services to patients. The records are considered to be a valuable resource for efficiency health care provision, research and for legal purposes. Public hospitals are therefore expected to preserve the records throughout their life cycle in order to make them accessible all the time. Issues of preservation of medical records have continued to be an area of concern for researchers, legal fraternity, hospital management and records and archives management professionals. This book therefore, provided an analysis of the nature, types, extent and causes of deterioration of medical records. The findings help to shed light not only to the challenges of preservation but also possible solutions.
