Understanding the organization and delivery of health services following the repatriation of South Sudanese refugees from the West Nile districts in Uganda
Refugee repatriation disrupted health service delivery in the refugee hosting districts, leading to a reduction in funding; inadequate skilled health workers and equipment; and the closure of some facilities. To ensure the continuity of health services, government and aid agencies should plan for repatriation and establish strategies to sustain health services in refugee-hosting areas
Examining the integration of refugees into the national health system in Uganda
Our study highlights the complex, dynamic, evolving, and multifaceted nature of the multisectoral health policy process in the integration of health services in refugee settings. The findings shed light on the importance of collaboration between stakeholders, mobilization of legal and political frameworks to shape the integration of refugee health services into the national health system, and the importance of ensuring that high-level commitments…
Assessing the integration of refugee health data into national health information systems in Jordan, Lebanon, and Uganda
The current status of refugee-related health data in Jordan, Lebanon, and Uganda indicates the need for improved data collection and reporting practices, disaggregation by refugee status and better integration of refugee health data into national HIS to capture the health status and needs of refugees in host countries. Key improvement strategies include establishing a centralized authority for consistent and efficient data management, fostering t…
Integrated health services for refugee and host populations in Uganda
Integration has emerged as a key strategy for promoting equitable access to health services for refugees and host populations. This study explored the perceptions and experiences of stakeholders on the integration of health services for refugees and host populations in two purposefully selected refugee-hosting districts of Adjumani and Obongi in the West Nile region, Uganda. This study used a case study design. Key informant interviews were condu…
Effects of Covid-19, control measures, and program adaptation on prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission service uptake in Central Region, Uganda
COVID-19 control measures had a significant immediate negative impact on pregnancy deliveries at health facilities. During lockdown, all service rates rapidly recovered through program adaptations, significantly for HEI testing and deliveries. Maintaining these adaptations might help restore the positive trend in timely HIV testing for HEI
Sustainability of health services in refugee hosting districts
Our study showed that while humanitarian health services are not designed for sustainability, several interventions continued at the end of the refugee emergency in the three districts. The embeddedness of the refugee health services in the district health systems ensured health services continued through public service delivery structures. It is important to strengthen the capacity of the local service delivery structures and ensure health assis…
Knowledge of cervical cancer risk factors and symptoms among women in a refugee settlement
A significant proportion of women in Palabek refugee settlement had not heard about cervical cancer. Refugee health services providers could increase awareness of cervical cancer risk factors and symptoms through health education in order to promote risk reduction behaviours and guide women during symptoms appraisal. Single women and those who lived more than one kilo metre from nearest health facility in home country could be a priority group fo…
The quality of drinking and domestic water from the surface water sources (lakes, rivers, irrigation canals and ponds) and springs in cholera prone communities of Uganda
This study showed that surface water and springs in the study area were unsafe for drinking and had favourable physicochemical parameters for propagation of waterborne diseases including cholera. Therefore, for Uganda to attain the SDG 6 targets and to eliminate cholera by 2030, more efforts are needed to promote access to safe drinking water. Also, since this study only established the vital water physicochemical parameters, further studies are …

International and national responses to the refugee influx in the country has been managed through parallel and integrated care and assistance mechanisms. In order to enhance effectiveness and responsiveness …
