  • 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 …

  • Principles for task shifting hypertension and diabetes screening and referral

    Open AccessRebecca Ingenhoff, Richard Munana et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    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

    Open AccessTrishul Siddharthan, Robert Kalyesubula et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    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

  • Challenges to hypertension and diabetes management in rural Uganda

    Open AccessHaeyoon Chang, Nicola L Hawley et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2019

    In order to improve hypertension and diabetes management in this setting, we recommend taking actions to help patients to understand NCDs as preventable, for HCPs and patients to advocate together for health system reform regarding medication accessibility, and for promoting education, screening, and monitoring activities to be conducted on a community level in collaboration with village health team members

  • Medical Education Capacity-Building Partnerships for Health Care Systems Development

    Open AccessTracy L Rabin, Harriet Mayanja‐Kizza et al.ARTICLEThe AMA Journal of Ethic2016

    Health care workforce development is a key pillar of global health systems strengthening that requires investment in health care worker training institutions. This can be achieved by developing partnerships between training institutions in resource-limited and resource-rich areas and leveraging the unique expertise and opportunities both have to offer. To realize their full potential, however, these relationships must be equitable. In this articl…

  • 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…
