  • Exploring stakeholder support for student-run free clinics to address gaps in non-communicable disease care in Ghana

    Open AccessBrian Fleischer, Esi Berkoh et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including hypertension and diabetes, are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Ghana, where underserved communities face persistent barriers to screening, early management, and self-care education. Student-run free clinics (SRFCs) may help address these gaps, but their feasibility in sub-Saharan Africa remains underexplored. We used an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design to examine stakeholder pers…

  • Tackling the (un)affordability of medicines for cardiometabolic risk factors worldwide

    Open AccessNigel James, Kevin Gibbons et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    box Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death globally, with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) facing the highest burden due to limited access to affordable treatment, health system constraints and socioeconomic challenges

  • Harnessing HIV clinics to deliver integrated hypertension care for People living with HIV in Uganda

    Open AccessFred C Semitala, Florence Ayebare et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Access to antiretroviral therapy has led to better treatment outcomes for aging people living with HIV worldwide. However, in Uganda and other parts of sub-Saharan Africa, PLHIV with comorbidities like hypertension experience fragmented healthcare access, despite existing guidelines for the integration of non-communicable diseases into HIV care. We assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices of PLHIV regarding hypertension care, and their percep…

  • Current out of pocket care costs among HIV and hypertension co-morbid patients in urban and peri-urban Uganda

    Open AccessDrew Cameron, Lillian Morrell et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Background Despite improvements to the cascade of HIV care in East Africa, access to care for non-communicable disease co-morbidities like hypertension (HTN) remains a persistent problem. The integration of care for these conditions presents an opportunity to achieve efficiencies in delivery as well as decrease overall costs for patients. This study aims to build evidence on the burden of current out-of-pocket costs of care among HIV-HTN co-morbi…

  • Self-care and healthcare seeking practices among patients with hypertension and diabetes in rural Uganda

    Open AccessAndrew K Tusubira, Isaac Ssinabulya et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Background Implementing effective self-care practices for non-communicable diseases (NCD) prevents complications and morbidity. However, scanty evidence exists among patients in rural sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We sought to describe and compare existing self-care practices among patients with hypertension (HTN) and diabetes (DM) in rural Uganda. Methods Between April and August 2019, we executed a cross-sectional investigation involving 385 adult …

  • Exploring patient experiences with and attitudes towards hypertension at a private hospital in Uganda

    Open AccessHayley M Lynch, Aliza S Green et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2019

    Internal patient factors had a substantial impact on adherence, calling attention to the need for educational interventions. Systemic barriers such as cost still existed even for those with insurance and need to be recognized by treating providers

  • Phenotypes of Hypertensive Ambulatory Blood Pressure Patterns

    Erica S Spatz, J L Martinez-Brockman et al.ARTICLEEthnicity & Disease2019

    Assessment of ABPM, and the contextual factors influencing ABPM, can identify unique phenotypes of HTN, which can then be used to develop more precision-based approaches to the prevention, detection and treatment of HTN in high-risk populations

  • Exploring knowledge and attitudes toward non-communicable diseases among village health teams in Eastern Uganda

    Open AccessTemitope Tabitha Ojo, Nicola L Hawley et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    Ugandan VHTs saw themselves as having the potential to play an important role in improving community awareness of NCDs as well as monitoring and referral of community members for NCD-related health issues. In order to accomplish this, they anticipated requiring context-specific and culturally adapted training as well as strong partnerships with facility-based medical personnel. A lack of financial incentivization was not identified to be a major …

  • Towards reframing health service delivery in Uganda

    Open AccessJeremy I Schwartz, Ashley Dunkle et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2015

    BACKGROUND: The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is accelerating. Given that the capacity of health systems in LMICs is already strained by the weight of communicable diseases, these countries find themselves facing a double burden of disease. NCDs contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality, thereby playing a major role in the cycle of poverty, and impeding development. METHODS: Integ…

  • Looking at non-communicable diseases in Uganda through a local lens

    Open AccessJeremy I Schwartz, D Guwatudde et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2014

    The demographic and nutritional transitions taking place in Uganda, just as in other low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), are leading to accelerating growth of chronic, non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Though still sparse, locally derived data on NCDs in Uganda has increased greatly over the past five years and will soon be bolstered by the first nationally representative data set on NCDs. Using these available local data, we describe the la…
