Understanding the burden of poor health outcomes among climate-related migrant populations in Sub-Saharan Africa
They tossed me up like a ball”
Our study reveals important and substantial gaps in the current healthcare system in Uganda. The main perceived health system challenges were its affordability and 'approachability' among residents of informal settlements. GHIs drain resources from the national health system and neglect coverage for non-priority diseases. We call upon policymakers to re-prioritize and respond to these health system challenges
Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Challenges in Informal Settlements in Kampala, Uganda
Diarrhea causes 1.6 million deaths annually, including 525,000 children. Further, chronic diarrhea puts children at risk for mineral deficiencies, malnutrition, and stunting which, in turn, can result in cognitive deficits, poor performance in school, and decreased disease immunity in adulthood. Most diarrhea is caused by water contaminated by fecal matter. Interventions to improve clean water and sanitation can save lives; however, challenges pe…
Effectiveness of Clinic-Based Patient-Led Human Papillomavirus DNA Self-Sampling among HIV-Infected Women in Uganda
In Uganda, the uptake of cervical cancer (CC) screening services is low, at 46.7%, among HIV-infected women, and only 9% of these women adhere to annual CC screening. Some studies have evaluated the possibility of community or home-based human papillomavirus (HPV) self-collected vaginal swabs, but not clinic-based HPV self-collected vaginal swabs. Therefore, we propose a study to determine the efficacy of clinic-based versus home-based HPV DNA se…
Facilitators and Barriers to HPV Self-Sampling as a Cervical Cancer Screening Option among Women Living with HIV in Rural Uganda
Background : There is a paucity of studies exploring women living with HIV's (WLWH) experiences relating to human papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampling as cervical cancer (CC) screening approach, either at the clinic or at the home setting, using qualitative methods. Our study explored facilitators and barriers to HPV self-sampling as a CC screening approach among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women, as supported by the new WHO guideli…
