A laboratory-focussed desk review of health systems in Uganda, Kenya, and the UK to respond to current and future pandemics
Background: Laboratory systems play a crucial role in managing diseases effectively, and the COVID-19 pandemic serves as a prime example. The pandemic underscored the need to make laboratory health systems more resilient and robust to respond to future pandemics. Methods: We conducted a desk review guided by the six World Health Organization health system building blocks (health service delivery, health financing, medical products, vaccines, and …
Finding the missing men with tuberculosis
Gender impacts exposure and vulnerability to tuberculosis (TB) evidenced by a higher prevalence of both TB disease and missed TB diagnoses among men, who significantly contribute to new TB infections. We present the formative research phase of a study, which used participatory methods to identify gender-specific interventions for systematic screening of TB among men in Uganda. Health facility-level data were collected at four Ugandan general hosp…
Global inequity of Covid-19 diagnostics
Diagnostics for COVID-19 have advanced at an unprecedented pace over the last two years. Testing is a critical pillar of pandemic control, and is required for epidemiological tracking, treatment, and surveillance. Despite high quality SARS-CoV-2 viral diagnostic capability, there are vast global inequities in access. The Virology, Immunology, and Diagnostics Working Group(WG) of the COVID-19 Clinical Research Coalition (CRC) brings together exper…
Impact of socio-economic factors on Tuberculosis treatment outcomes in north-eastern Uganda
This study confirmed that low socio-economic status is associated with poor TB treatment outcomes emphasizing the need for multi- and cross-sectoral approaches and socio-economic enablers to optimise TB care
Households experiencing catastrophic costs due to tuberculosis in Uganda
Despite free health care in public health facilities, over half of Ugandan TB affected households experience catastrophic costs. Roll out of social protection interventions like TB assistance programs, insurance schemes, and enforcement of legislation related to social protection through multi-sectoral action plans with central NTP involvement would palliate these costs
