Community health knowledge and access to care in post-conflict Northern Uganda
Northern Uganda continues to experience high disease burdens and poor health outcomes shaped by poverty, geographic isolation, and long-standing health system constraints. Community health workers (CHWs) play an important role in rural districts by linking households to formal health services. In this study, CHWs refer to Village Health Team (VHT) members trained through the Laro Kwo Project in Pader District. However, limited research has examin…
Community health workers identify children requiring health center admission in Northern Uganda
Background Over five million children die annually from preventable and treatable illnesses. Most of these deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa, predominantly in socioeconomically deprived regions. With nearly half of pediatric mortality occurring at the community level, serious illnesses must be detected early in the prehospital setting. The purpose of this 18-month, prospective, observational pilot study was to introduce the first use of the proi…
Prevalence, types, and determinants of intimate-partner violence among pregnant women in Northern Uganda
IPV during pregnancy, particularly controlling behaviour by male partners, is highly prevalent in Northern Uganda. To mitigate the negative impacts on maternal and foetal health, targeted interventions by the Ministry of Health, development partners, and other stakeholders are urgently needed to prevent and manage IPV in pregnancy
Community Based Participatory Research in Global Health
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) and participatory action research (PAR) methodologies incorporate community engagement throughout the research process to reduce health inequities, support research capacity, and ensure that research supports community goals. To foster true reciprocity between academic institutions and community members, ethics training required by academic institutions should be culturally and linguistically adapted …
Antimicrobial resistance in bacterial wound, skin, soft tissue and surgical site infections in Central, Eastern, Southern and Western Africa
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global threat and AMR-attributable mortality is particularly high in Central, Eastern, Southern and Western Africa. The burden of clinically infected wounds, skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) and surgical site infections (SSI) in these regions is substantial. This systematic review reports the extent of AMR from sampling of these infections in Africa, to guide treatment. It also highlights gaps in mi…
Chronicity of self-harming behaviors among adolescent teenage girls living in refugee settlements in Northern Uganda
The persistence of self-harming thoughts among female teenagers in Northern Ugandan refugee settlements varies. Pregnancy history is associated with a higher chance of prolonged self-harming thoughts while having a spouse as the family's head is linked with a lower likelihood. Examining different demographic and familial elements when addressing the mental well-being of female teenage refugees is vital. It stresses the necessity for customized in…
Prevalence and Factors Associated With Depression and Suicidal Ideation During the Covid-19 Pandemic Among University Students in Uganda
Approximately one-fifth of undergraduate university students were moderately to severely depressed, especially those who had relationship issues and those with a history of sexual abuse. Suicidal ideation was common among smokers and those having financial tuition constraints. Therefore, it is recommended that the university authorities implement measures to provide psychological support for the students with problems concerning financial tuition…

Coronavirus Disease-2019
Background: Coronavirus diseases- 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging public health problem threatening the life of over 2.4 million people globally. The present study sought to determine knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of health care workers (HCWs) towards COVID-19 in Makerere University Teaching Hospitals (MUTHs) in Uganda. Methods: An online cross sectional, descriptive study was undertaken through WhatsApp Messenger among HCWs in four MUTH…
Online Learning Resources Enhanced Teaching and Learning of Medical Mycology among Medical Students in Gulu University, Uganda
Background . The burden of serious fungal diseases has significantly increased in the past few decades; however, the number of health-care workers with expertise in the management of fungal diseases remains low, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aimed to evaluate the use of freely available online teaching material to enhance teaching and learning of medical mycology among medical students in Gulu University Medic…
