  • DREF Final Report Uganda: Cholera Epidemic the Situation
    DREF Final Report Uganda: Cholera Epidemic DREF operation n° MDRUG024 GLIDE n° EP-2011-000173-UGA 14 August, 2012 The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross Red Crescent response to emergencies. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters. Summary: CHF 156, 962 was allocated from the IFRC’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the Uganda Red Cross Society (URCS) in delivering immediate assistance to some 721,400 indirect beneficiaries during a Cholera outbreak in 4 sub counties of Nyakiyumbu, Isango/Bwere, Mpondwe-Lhubiriha Town Council and Kitswamba. The URCS – Kasese Branch Community-based Volunteers utilized the Epidemic Control for Volunteers (ECV) and Participatory Hygiene and Sanitation Transformation in emergency response (PHASTer) toolkits to engage households with effective disease control methodologies that help to increase knowledge about Cholera and its control measures such as provision of safe water, and facilitating proper URCS Volunteers train household members in Kayanja fishing environmental, food and personal hygiene. This village on a cost-effective way of hand washing using tippy- led to increased public awareness about the tap/URCS Kasese Branch disease and its control measures, and a general decline of cholera infection rate in the 4 sub-counties. DG-ECHO and the Belgian Red Cross/Government contributed to the DREF in replenishment of 95% of the allocation made for this operation.

Abstract Uganda, like many other countries in the Global South, is in dire need of affordable housing. According to the 2017 Uganda National Household Survey, the number of poor Ugandans increased from 6.6 million in 2012/13 to 10 million in 2017 (Twinoburyo 2018). Uganda’s population growth is also the fourth highest in the world (The World Bank Group 2018). With the cost of manufacturing and purchasing construction materials like cement increasing due to scarcity of raw materials (Kamukama 2018), many Ugandans are unable to afford to construct homes.

  • Measles Outbreak in Western Uganda: a Case-Control Study
    Walekhwa et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2021) 21:596 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-021-06213-5 RESEARCH Open Access Measles outbreak in Western Uganda: a case-control study Abel Wilson Walekhwa1*, Moses Ntaro1, Peter Chris Kawungezi1, Chiara Achangwa2, Rabbison Muhindo1, Emmanuel Baguma1, Michael Matte1, Richard Migisha3, Raquel Reyes4, Peyton Thompson5, Ross M. Boyce1,6 and Edgar M. Mulogo1 Abstract Background: Measles outbreaks are prevalent throughout sub-Saharan Africa despite the preventive measures like vaccination that target under five-year-old children and health systems strengthening efforts like prioritizing the supply chain for supplies. Measles immunization coverage for Kasese district and Bugoye HC III in 2018 was 72 and 69%, respectively. This coverage has been very low and always marked red in the Red categorization (below the national target/poor performing) on the national league table indicators. The aim of this study was to assess the scope of the 2018–2019 measles outbreak and the associated risk factors among children aged 0–60 months in Bugoye sub-county, Kasese district, western Uganda. Methods: We conducted a retrospective unmatched case-control study among children aged 0–60 months with measles (cases) who had either a clinical presentation or a laboratory confirmation (IgM positivity) presenting at Bugoye Health Centre III (BHC) or in the surrounding communities between December 2018 and October 2019.. Caregivers of the controls (whose children did not have measles) were selected at the time of data collection in July 2020. A modified CDC case investigation form was used in data collection. Quantitative data was collected and analyzed using Microsoft excel and STATA version 13.

  • Case in Kasese District
    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA MINISTRY OF HEALTH PRESS STATEMENT ON THE IMPORTED EBOLA VIRUS DISEASE (EVD) CASE IN KASESE DISTRICT HON. DR. JOYCE MORIKU KADUCU MINISTER OF STATE FOR HEALTH IN CHARGE OF PRIMARY HEALTH CARE 30 AUGUST 2019 The Ministry of Health would like to inform the public of an imported case of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Kasese District, Uganda. The confirmed case is a 9 year old female of Congolese origin who traveled from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) with her mother on Wednesday, 28th August 2019. The child and her mother who originate from Majengo district, of Lubhiriha in DRC entered the country through Mpondwe Main Border post to seek medical care in Bwera, Kasese District. The child was identified by the Point of Entry (PoE) screening team with the following symptoms: high fever, body weakness, rash and unexplained mouth bleeding. She was subsequently isolated and transferred to Bwera hospital Ebola Treatment Unit (ETU) for further management. A blood sample was drawn immediately and sent for testing at the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) and confirmed positive for Ebola Virus on 29th August 2019. Unfortunately, the girl passed on early in the morning today. Upon the request of the father, plans are under-way to repatriate the body to DRC for safe and dignified burial. May her soul rest in peace. Throughout the cycle of handling this girl – that is, at the PoE, as well as admission at Bwera ETU - all health workers observed the appropriate Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) practices. Additionally, all our health workers at the Mpondwe crossing border point and Bwera hospital are vaccinated against EVD.
