First Mile program
Uganda's public healthcare system faces significant systemic challenges in delivering care, contributing to poor health outcomes. In response, a North-South partnership between Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST), and Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH) implemented the First Mile Project, a seven-year initiative (2018-2024) designed to strengthen the regional health system in southwester…

Older age, longer work experience, and access to psychological counselling were associated with higher resilience.

Investigation of Covid-19 outbreak at a refugee transit centre, Kisoro District, Uganda, June–July 2022

On June 12, 2022, Kisoro District reported >330 cases of COVID-19 among NTC residents. We investigated the outbreak to assess its magnitude, identify risk factors, and recommend control measures. We defined a confirmed case as a positive SARS-CoV-2 antigen test in an NTC resident during Ma…

On September 20, 2022, Uganda declared a Sudan Virus Disease (species orthoebolavirus sudanense ) outbreak after a patient with confirmed Sudan virus (SUDV) infection was identified in Mubende District. The outbreak led to 142 confirmed and 22 probable cases over the next two months. We exa…
