Worldwide, 70% of maternal deaths occur in Sub-Saharan Africa. Approximately 10% are attributable to hypertensive disorders pregnancy, primarily complications pre-eclampsia. Timely and effective care improves outcomes, but this is not consistently available, particularly low-resource settings such as Uganda. We conducted a national evaluation the provision prompt safe for women with severe pre-eclampsia across all regions explored wider health system-related factors, eg supply availability,...
Infections with multi-drug-resistant (MDR) pathogens in food-animals threaten public health and food security. However, the epidemiology factors associated MDR Escherichia coli (MDR E. coli) on Ugandan farms are not well known. This study investigated prevalence, resistance patterns carriage chicken farms. was isolated from each of 158 sampled. The disc diffusion method for susceptibility testing performed. Clinical breakpoints were interpreted according to Laboratory Standards Institute...

Abstract Introduction Uganda’s community health worker (CHW), or village team (VHT), program faces significant challenges with poor retention and insufficient financial investment. Adequate compensation comprising non-financial components is critical to retaining any workforce, including CHWs. This study evaluates the impact of a recognition-based incentives package on motivation, performance, VHTs, as well utilization services by community. The incentive intervention were developed in...
Abstract Objective: The main objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness clinic-based HPV self-sampling approach at a rural HIV clinic in Uganda. Methods: A simple single-blind randomized controlled trial used estimate efficacy (intervention) compared home-based (control) among 150 HIV-infected women aged 25-49 years clinic. Health Promotion Model (HPM) guided broad conceptualization. participants were either or using ratio 1:1. assignment concealed and handed over midwife....
