Hopes, joys and fears
Open AccessNicholus Nanyeenya, Godfrey Siu et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023
Uganda applies the World Health Organization threshold of 1,000 copies/ml to determine HIV viral non-suppression. While there is an emerging concern of low-level viraemia (≥50 to
Community purchases of antimicrobials during the Covid-19 pandemic in Uganda
Open AccessAgnes Kiragga, 朝秀野原 et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023
Self-Medication (SM) involves the utilization of medicines to treat self-recognized symptoms or diseases without consultation and the irrational use of over-the-counter drugs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of definitive treatment led to increased SM. We aimed to estimate the extent of SM for drugs used to treat COVID-19 symptoms by collecting data from pharmacy sale records. The study was conducted in Kampala, Uganda, where we extracted …

Low HIV viral suppression rates following the intensive adherence counseling (IAC) program for children and adolescents with viral failure in public health facilities in Uganda
Open AccessEsther Nasuuna, Joanita Kigozi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018
Suppression rates were low among ART-treated children with virological failure that completed the recommended three IAC sessions. As we move towards having 90% of ART-treated children and adolescents achieve and maintain viral suppression, there is need to re-evaluate the implementation of IAC among children and adolescents to consider both psychosocial and biological factors such as resistance testing for those with multiple detectable viral loa…

Prevalence, barriers and factors associated with parental disclosure of their HIV positive status to children
Open AccessCharles Peter Osingada, Monica Okuga et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016
Parental disclosure of a positive HIVstatus to their children is still low in urban Kampala. There is therefore need to develop locally relevant interventions so as to increase rates of parental disclosure of a positive HIV status to their children and thus promote open and honest discussions about HIV/AIDS at family level
Programme level implementation of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) use
Open AccessDaniel Kyabayinze, Daniel J Kyabayinze et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012
One-day training on the use of RDTs successfully provided adequate skill and competency among health workers to perform RDTs in fever case management at LLHF in a Uganda setting. The cost averaged at US$101 per health worker trained, with the main cost drivers being trainee travel and per diems. Given the good peer training noted in this study, there is need to explore the cost-effectiveness of a cascade training model for large scale implementat…
Parasite-based malaria diagnosis
Open AccessDaniel Kyabayinze, Daniel J Kyabayinze et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012
Primary health care facilities had inadequate human and infrastructural capacity to effectively implement universal parasite-based malaria diagnosis. The priority capacity building needs identified were: 1) recruitment and retention of qualified staff, 2) comprehensive training of health workers in fever management, 3) malaria diagnosis quality control systems and 4) strengthening of supply chain, stock management and referral systems
Access to HIV/Aids care for mothers and children in sub-Saharan Africa
Mercy Nassali, Damalie Nakanjako et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2009
Despite scale up of perinatal prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV interventions, postnatal continuity of comprehensive HIV/AIDS care, for both the mother and baby, remains a challenge in developing countries. We determined adherence to the postnatal PMTCT program (PN-PMTCT) and the associated factors among mothers at a public urban hospital in Uganda. We interviewed HIV-positive postnatal mothers on discharge and we determin…
