Wastewater-based surveillance as a proactive public health tool
Wastewater-based surveillance offers a cost-effective, population-level complement to clinical testing for early detection of infectious disease outbreaks; however, its adoption in low- and middle-income countries remains limited. We conducted a study in Kampala, Uganda, to quantify SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater and evaluate its association with reported clinical cases, thereby strengthening community-level surveillance strategies. From March 2023…
A capacity strengthening model toward self-reliant and sustainable one-health workforce in six East African Community Partner States
The burden of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Africa highlights the critical need for strengthened genomic surveillance capacities that are embedded within the national public health framework. In the East African Community (EAC), this challenge is compounded by limited infrastructure and insufficient workforce capacity in bioinformatics and genomics, particularly within National Public Health Laboratories (NPHLs). This …
Task sharing for point-of-care testing
World Health Organization recommends task sharing (TS) for point-of-care testing (POCT) with lay health workers (LHW) to improve access when professional capacity is limited. Despite many benefits of POCT, TS remains underutilized. This study examined uptake of TS for POCT in national policies and the implementation landscape in 19 African countries from November 2024 to March 2025. A mixed-methods approach included an online cross-sectional surv…
The epidemiology of antibiotic-resistant clinical pathogens in Uganda
Background: Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a global challenge, and its control depends on robust evidence primarily derived from surveillance systems. Methods: We utilised a national surveillance data set to demonstrate how such evidence can be systematically generated. In doing so, we characterised the ABR profiles of priority clinical pathogens, identified associated factors, and drew inferences on antibiotic usage in Uganda. Results: Of the 12…
Assessment of the pathogen genomics landscape highlights disparities and challenges for effective AMR Surveillance and outbreak response in the East African community
The East African Community (EAC) grapples with many challenges in tackling infectious disease threats and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), underscoring the importance of regional and robust pathogen genomics capacities. However, a significant disparity exists among EAC Partner States in harnessing bacterial pathogen sequencing and data analysis capabilities for effective AMR surveillance and outbreak response. This study assesses the current lands…
Hopes, joys and fears
Uganda applies the World Health Organization threshold of 1,000 copies/ml to determine HIV viral non-suppression. While there is an emerging concern of low-level viraemia (≥50 to
The East African Community’s mobile laboratory network’s rapid response during the first 2 weeks of the Ebola Sudan virus disease (SVD) outbreak in Uganda and pandemic preparedness activities in South…
Uganda’s experience in Ebola virus disease outbreak preparedness, 2018–2019
BACKGROUND: Since the declaration of the 10th Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in DRC on 1st Aug 2018, several neighboring countries have been developing and implementing preparedness efforts to prevent EVD cross-border transmission to enable timely detection, investigation, and response in the event of a confirmed EVD outbreak in the country. We describe Uganda's experience in EVD preparedness. RESULTS: On 4 August 2018, the Uganda Ministry of…
