Improving Medication Availability through Mobile Wallets and Pooled Community Funds
In Uganda, frequent shortages of antihypertensive medications hinder continuity of care, undermining blood pressure management. Building on preliminary ethnographic research, this study evaluates a community-led, mobile-wallet-based pooling intervention— MoPuleesa—designed to improve medication access at a rural clinic in Nakaseke District, Uganda. Over a seven-month period, 183 patients enrolled and were linked to a digital savings platform that…
Access model
The approaches to global health (GH) partnerships are as varied as the programs available across the globe. Few models have shared their philosophy and structure in sufficient detail to inform a full spectrum of how these collaborations are formed. Although contributions from low- to middle-income countries (LMICs) have markedly grown over the last decade, they are still few in comparison to those from high-income countries (HICs). In this articl…
Principles for task shifting hypertension and diabetes screening and referral
CHWs are perceived as a useful resource when task shifting NCD screening and referral for hypertension and diabetes from facility-based healthcare workers. Before implementation of a task shifting program, it is essential to consider the multiple layers of needs portrayed in this study. This ensures a successful program that overcomes community concerns and may serve as guidance to implement task shifting in similar settings
The rural Uganda non-communicable disease (RUNCD) study
The RUNCD will establish one of the largest NCD patient cohorts in rural Africa. First analysis highlights the feasibility of systematically enrolling large numbers of adults living in a rural Ugandan district. In addition, our study demonstrates low levels of self-reported NCDs compared to the nation-wide established levels, emphasizing the need to better educate, characterize, and care for the majority of rural communities
Youths’ perceptions of community health workers’ delivery of family planning services
VHTs are a known source of FP services but not widely used by youth due to privacy and quality of care concerns. VHT messaging and training should increase focus on ensuring privacy, protecting confidentiality, providing respectful care, and addressing concerns about contraceptive side effects. Preferences for VHTs of similar age and sex may be more important for younger adolescents than older youths for whom quality concerns predominate
