Abstract:

Misoprostol use for postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) has been promoted by Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) since the early 2000s. Yet, CSOs' role in improving access to misoprostol and shaping health policy at global and national levels is not well understood. We document the introduction of misoprostol in Uganda in 2008 from its registration, addition to treatment guidelines and national Essential Medicines List (EML), to its distribution and use. We then analyse the contribution of CSOs to this health policy change and service provision. Policy documents, procurement data and 82 key inform

Abstract:

IntroductionSub-Saharan Africa continues to experience a syndemic of HIV and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Vertical (stand-alone) HIV programming has provided high-quality care in the region, with almost 80% of people living with HIV in regular care and 90% virally suppressed. While integrated health education and concurrent management of HIV, hypertension and diabetes are being scaled up in clinics, innovative, more efficient and cost-effective interventions that include decentralisation into the community are required to respond to the increased burden of comorbid HIV/NCD disease.Methods

Abstract:

IntroductionIn sub-Saharan Africa, the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension, has increased rapidly in recent years, although HIV infection remains a leading cause of death among young-middle-aged adults. Health service coverage for NCDs remains very low in contrast to HIV, despite the increasing prevalence of comorbidity of NCDs with HIV. There is an urgent need to expand healthcare capacity to provide integrated services to address these chronic conditions.Methods and analysisThis protocol describes procedures for a qualitative proce

Background: Monitoring and evaluation of clinical programs requires assessing patient outcomes. Numerous challenges complicate these efforts, the most insidious of which is loss to follow-up (LTFU).

Incorporation of vital status information from routine patient outreach may improve the mortality estimates for those LTFU.

SummaryA job aid is a tool, such as a flowchart or checklist, that makes it easier for staff to carry out tasks by providing quick access to needed information. Many public health organizations are engaged in the production of job aids intended to improve adherence to important medical guidelines and protocols, particularly in resource-constrained countries. However, some evidence suggests that actual use of job aids remains low. One strategy for improving utilization is the introduction of job aids in training workshops.

Patients and methods We retrospectively analyzed medical records of all cervical ca

Abstract:

IntroductionThe World Health Organization (WHO) recommends household tuberculosis (TB) contact investigation in low-income countries, but most contacts do not complete a full clinical and laboratory evaluation.MethodsWe performed a randomised trial of home-based, SMS-facilitated, household TB contact investigation in Kampala, Uganda. Community health workers (CHWs) visited homes of index patients with pulmonary TB to screen household contacts for TB. Entire households were randomly allocated to clinic (standard-of-care) or home (intervention) evaluation. In the intervention arm, CHWs offered H

Abstract:

Point-of-care tests (POCTs) offer the opportunity for increased diagnostic capacity in resource-limited settings, where there is lack of electricity, technical capacity, reagents, and infrastructure. Understanding how POCTs are currently used and determining what health care workers (HCWs) need is key to development of appropriate tests. In 2016, we undertook an email survey of 7584 HCWs who had received training at the Infectious Diseases Institute, Uganda, in a wide variety of courses. HCWs were contacted up to three times and asked to complete the survey using Qualtrics software. Of 555 par

Abstract Purpose: Close to 70% of all cancer deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with the rising cancer burden causing a strain on the already weak health care and economic infrastructures. The extrapolation of the experiences of cancer control programs in High Income Countries (HICs) to LMICs is often inappropriate requiring a regional scale up of successfully implemented cancer programs across LMICs. Methods: International Cancer Institute (ICI) is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization whose main purpose is to expand education and training opportunities in canc

Abstract 9 Background: In Uganda, cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death, affecting 45 in every 100,000 women annually and killing 25 in every 100,000 annually. To effect change, two Canadian registered charities partnered with a Ugandan nongovernmental organization, a university, and the Ministry of Health to develop a novel screening, treatment, and educational training program. The two major goals of our program were to develop a training program for health care providers in southwestern Uganda for visual inspection of the cervix with acetic acid (VIA) and a cryotherapy see an

Background: Many international sporting organizations have recommended practices to reduce the risk of injury. These practices include screening for injury, having appropriate emergency medical care, and protocols for managing injury before return-to-play. The extent of the uptake of these practices in a developing country such as Uganda, is unknown. Methodology: Using a descriptive case study approach, this investigation focused on a sample of injured athletes (n = 75) in Uganda from four main sports associations (football, athletics, basketball and rugby).

Malaria remained a significant public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, with Uganda, particularly its northern region, bearing a high burden of the disease. This article examined the persistent malaria crisis in Northern Uganda, focusing on the interplay between inadequate healthcare infrastructure, limited access to medical services, and systemic inefficiencies in healthcare delivery. Northern Uganda’s healthcare infrastructure, weakened by historical conflicts, poverty, and underdevelopment, presents significant barriers to effective malaria control.

PURPOSE: This article examines maternal mortality in Uganda through the “Three Delays” framework. This framework asserts that maternal mortality in developing countries results from three delays to accessing appropriate health care: (a) the delay in making a timely decision to seek medical assistance, (b) the delay in reaching a health facility, and (c) the delay in provision of adequate care at a health facility.STUDY DESIGN: This study provides a review and synthesis of literature published about maternal mortality, the “Three Delays” concept, Uganda, and sub-Saharan Africa between 1995 and

IntroductionAchieving the Sustainable Development Goals to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates will require the expansion and strengthening of quality maternal health services. Midwife-led birth centres (MLBCs) are an alternative to hospital-based care for low-risk pregnancies where the lead professional at the time of birth is a trained midwife. These have been used in many countries to improve birth outcomes.MethodsThe cost analysis used primary data collection from four MLBCs in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Uganda (n=12 MLBC sites).
