However, evidence to guide their scaling and optimisation is limited. This study aimed to identify and prioritise a global research agenda for digital payments in health campaigns in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). METHODS: We employed the Child Health and Nutritio…

Assessing the feasibility of partner-implemented digital payment systems for health workers
BACKGROUND: The heightening of efforts to eradicate vaccine-preventable diseases through mass vaccination campaigns has contributed to a growing demand for effective and efficient payment mechanisms for frontline vaccination workers in large-scale campaigns. Subsequently, the Uganda Ministry of Health (MoH) adopted digital payments for campaign workers, which were either implemented by the government or partners. We specifically explored stakehol…
The effect of supporting districts to operationalise digital payments for vaccination campaign workers
INTRODUCTION: A motivated and satisfied health workforce is critical for the success of mass vaccination campaigns targeting diseases like polio. This study examined whether supporting districts to implement electronic cash (e-cash) payments, instead of cash, increased e-cash usage and improved vaccine campaign healthcare workers' (VCHWs) motivation and satisfaction during an oral poliovirus vaccination campaign in 2022 in Uganda. METHODS: In Nov…

Patient and Provider Dilemmas of Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management
Studies comparing provider and patient views and experiences of self-management within primary healthcare are particularly scarce in disadvantaged settings. In this qualitative study, patient and provider perceptions of self-management were investigated in five socio-economically disadvantaged communities in Stockholm. Twelve individual interviews and four group interviews were conducted. Semi-structured interview guides included questions on per…
What kind of life is this?’ Diabetes related notions of wellbeing among adults in eastern Uganda and implications for mitigating future chronic disease risk
