Psychological distress and social support among conflict refugees in urban, semi-rural and rural settlements in Uganda

Variations in social support are a key predictor of distress which should guide tailored need-adapted interventions instead of duplica…
Healthworker preparedness for Covid-19 management and implementation experiences
HCWs preparedness is inadequate in some aspects. Implementation of healthcare interventions is constrained by the complexity of Uganda's health system design, top-down approach of the national response to COVID-19 and longstanding health system bottlenecks.
