“Why Did They Die?” Reviewing the Evidence to Save Tomorrow's Mothers and Babies THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA Ministry of Health “Why did they die?” Reviewing the evidence to save tomorrow's mothers and babies REPORT Maternal and Perinatal Death Review Uganda 2012/13 By the National MPDR Committee i Acknowledgements No mother should die while giving birth. Therefore, we commend the work of health workers especially midwives, doctors and anesthetists who safely delivered close to 800,000 mothers in our health facilities this year despite the odds. We are truly proud of you for bringing smiles to many Ugandans. And to those who lost their loved ones, we convey our sincere condolences. This 2nd National Maternal and Perinatal death review (MPDR) report is a result of efforts of health workers that have been keen on analyzing deaths, the Resource centre and the National MPDR committee. The Ministry of Health recognizes the efforts of health facilities in conducting death reviews and forwarding findings to the centre. Special appreciation goes to the following people who contributed tremendously to the production of this report: Ms. Emily Atuheire, Dr. Sarah Byakika, Dr. Frank Kaharuza, Ms Carol Kyozira, Dr. Anthony Mugasa. Dr. Yvonne Mugerwa, Ms Maria Najjemba, Dr. Victoria Nakibuuka, Dr. Joseph Ngonzi, Dr. Hanifah Sengendo, Dr. Miriam Sentongo and Dr. Olive Sentumbwe Mugisa. The entire National MPDR committee is also commended for their noble guidance and deliberations. The Ministry applauds the collaboration, support and technical input of the development partners, institutions and organizations that have supported the process of institutionalizing MPDR. Specifically the Ministry appreciates the financial and technical support provided by UNFPA, CDC, USAID, WHO, Save The Children, World Bank, AOGU and Mbarara University of Science and technology. Lastly, MPDR is a process that must be fully institutionalized in order to improve the survival of mothers and babies. The facility teams must discuss why they lost a mother and /or baby; what could have been done differently to save life; and put in place remedial measures to avoid similar deaths. Communities shall be encouraged, also, to review deaths in their areas so they can act quickly to save mothers and newborns. HMIS reporting including on MPDR is requisite if we are to address bottlenecks in providing quality Emergency Obstetric and Newborn care in the country.

This definition may seem clear but numerous studies have found misclassification of causes and underreporting of maternal deaths in official statistics1. Maternal deaths are subdivided into two groups Direct obstetric deaths: Direct obstetrics deaths are those resulting from obstetric complications of the pregnancy state (pregnancy, labour and puerperium), from interventions, omissions, incorrect treatment, or from a chain of events resulting from any of the above Indirect obstetric deaths: Indirect obstetric deaths are those resulting from previous existing disease or disease that developed during pregnancy and which was not due to direct obstetric causes, but which was aggravated by physiologic effects of pregnancy What is the definition of a perinatal death? Perinatal death: A death that occurred around the time of birth. Includes both still births and early neonatal deaths. The perinatal period: This commences at 28 completed weeks of gestation and ends seven completed days after birth. Early neonatal deaths: These are deaths occurring during the first seven days of life Stillbirth: This is death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a fetus/baby of 1000 grams or 28 weeks gestation; the death is indicated by the fact that after such separation

    CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WEST NILE REGION OF UGANDA:: 7(3) 180-198 UMU Press 2009 CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WEST NILE REGION OF UGANDA: EX-POST EVALUATION OF A PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTED BY DOCTORS WITH AFRICA CUAMM Maria-Pia Waelkens#, Everd Maniple and Stella Regina Nakiwala, Faculty of Health Sciences, Uganda Martyrs University, P.O. Box 5498 Kampala, Uganda. #Corresponding author e-mail addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Disability is a common occurrence in many countries and a subject of much discussion and lobby. People with disability (PWD) are frequently segregated in society and by-passed for many opportunities. Stigma hinders their potential contribution to society. Doctors with Africa CUAMM, an Italian NGO, started a project to improve the life of PWD in the West Nile region in north- western Uganda in 2003. An orthopaedic workshop, a physiotherapy unit and a community-based rehabilitation programme were set up as part of the project. This ex-post evaluation found that the project made an important contribution to the life of the PWD through its activities, which were handed over to the local referral hospital for continuation after three years. The services have been maintained and their utilisation has been expanded through a network of outreach clinics. Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) workers mobilise the community for disability assessment and supplement the output of qualified health workers in service delivery. However, the quality of care during clinics is still poor on account of large numbers. In the face of the departure of the international NGO, a new local NGO has been formed by stakeholders to take over some functions previously done by the international NGO, such as advocacy and resource mobilisation.

  • Nebbi District Local Government
    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA NEBBI DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT PRODUCTION AND MARKETING STATISTICAL ABSTRACT FOR FY 2011/2012 By Production Directorate Nebbi District Local Government July, 2012 Foreword The need for agricultural statistics cannot be overstated. It is vital for evidence-based planning and tracking of progress in the sector. Nebbi district production directorate has over the years been engaged in the collection of data at different levels in all the subsectors. However, the data was scattered within the individual departments and local governments and also lacking in some details. Because of this, the directorate undertook an effort to update and consolidate all the existing data/information and publish an Abstract. The information in this Abstract is derived from surveys conducted by the District Production Directorate, District Planning Unit, Records from sub counties, Censuses from UBOS and Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries. The Abstract is divided into seven sections providing information/statistics on the following sectors; crops, livestock/veterinary services, fisheries, entomology (Apiculture), marketing and NAADS and General Information on Nebbi district. We sincerely hope that information in this Abstract will be useful to our stakeholders. Utmost care was taken to compile this information, however, comments from stakeholders on any gaps or vital information that is lacking will be welcomed.

National Population and Housing Census 2014 Area Specific Profiles – Kalangala District FOREWORD Demographic and socio-economic data are useful for planning and evidence-based decision making in any country. Such data are collected through Population Censuses, Demographic and Socio-economic Surveys, Civil Registration Systems and other Administrative sources. In Uganda, however, the Population and Housing Census remains the main source of demographic data, especially at the sub-national level. Population Census taking in Uganda dates back to 1911 and since then the country has undertaken five such Censuses. The most recent, the National Population and Housing Census 2014, was undertaken under the theme ‘Counting for Planning and Improved Service Delivery’. The enumeration for the 2014 Census was conducted in August/September 2014. The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) worked closely with different Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) as well as Local Governments (LGs) to undertake the census exercise.

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal). 5073. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac/5073 The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices By Jane Kawalya (PhD) 1.0 BACKGROUND The idea of establishing the NLU started in 1997. Kawalya (2009) identified several factors which led to the establishment of the NLU. Before the enactment of the National Library Act 2003, Uganda had a national library system composed of Makerere University Library (MULIB) and the Deposit Library and Documentation Center (DLDC), which were performing the functions of a national library. Meanwhile the Public Libraries Board (PLB) was performing the functions of a national library service. However, due to the decentralization of services, according to the Local Government Act 1997, the Public Libraries Act 1964 was repealed thus weakening the PLB. The public libraries were taken over by the districts which left the PLB with few functions. There was therefore a need for an institution to take over important functions which had been carried out by the PLB. It was also realized that the few responsibilities would lead to the retrenchment of the PLB staff at the headquarters.
