The theme of the conference “Promoting Best Antimicrobial Practice in Uganda” resonates with the agenda of AMR Global Action Plan that Uganda has embraced. Together for the first time in Uganda, various stakeholders have come together to listen to one another and to use this platform to accelerate formation of a multisector response. The different stakeholders include players that contribute to increasing resistance, those most adversely affected by it, and those critical to the control and prevention of the problem. This conference is being held at a crucial time in this country; the Ministry of Health has setup AMR surveillance system and it is engaging the Office of the Prime Minister to constitute a multi-sectoral National AMR Committee to draft the National Action Plan; Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries has developed a National Plan to contain resistance to acaricides, which in turn will reduce the need for antimicrobials; National Drug Authority is developing guidelines towards responsible and prudent use of antibiotics in animals. The conference will synergize these and other upcoming efforts. It is our sincere hope that this conference will enrich your perspective in the efforts to mitigate antimicrobial resistance in Uganda.

Total area is 2,304 km2, of which 2045 km2 is a protected and makes up the Mt Elgon National Park. The Region comprises the districts of Manafwa, Bududa, Mbale, Sironko, Bulambuli, Kapchorwa, Kween, and Bukwo. It is home to two main tribes, Bagisu and Sabinyi. Most people in Mt Elgon region live in rural areas; only 6.6 percent of the population lives in urban areas compared to the national average at 25.6 per cent. Mbale District Mbale District is named after the largest city in the district, Mbale, which also serves as the main administrative and commercial centre in the Region. It is located approximately 245 kilometres by road, northeast of Kampala, the capital of Uganda. Mbale Town Mbale town is relatively safe which makes it safe to walk the main streets at night without too much fear of getting mugged or robbed. The center of the city is relatively clean, the bars and nightclubs are fun, and there are plenty of restaurants. Most of the large banks, offices and big hotels are situated in the Town centre.

There is no other species that has been able to sustain existence on every continent and even venture past the boundaries of this planet. Human beings have been able to adapt to different conditions through observation, persistence, reasoning and luck. It was by luck that a little less then one hundred years ago, Alexander Fleming transformed health care. It was on the morning of 3rd September, 1928 that this researcher observed that his cultures of Staphylococci had accidently become infected by a fungus, from the Penicillium genus. Dr. Fleming observed that the bacteria near the fungus were dying off but the bacteria farther away from the fungus survived. From this observation, Dr. Fleming hypothesized that the fungus was producing some agent that was toxic to the bacteria. This marked the beginning of the revolutionary age of antimicrobials. Since the discovery of Penicillin, many more antimicrobials have been found and this has led to the reduction of morbidity and mortality. Combining the effects of antimicrobial medications together with improvements in vaccinations, humanity was thought to have a found a way to adapt to the antimicrobial world. Unfortunately, we see that the tide is turning. There is growing evidence that microorganisms are developing resistance to available antimicrobial drugs. During the next two days, we will discuss researchers’ findings on resistance patterns currently being reported in Uganda. We will be hearing from a variety of stakeholders during this conference. Antimicrobial resistance is a multi-sectorial problem and will involve all of us to work together to adapt to this changing microorganism environment. Through this meeting, I call upon members to develop a unified antimicrobial stewardship program for Uganda. Dr. Joseph L. Mpagi, Head Department of Microbiology & Immunology, Busitema University Faculty of Health Sciences 7 MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN OF BUSITEMA UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF HEALTH SCEINCES I take pleasure to welcome you all to Mbale town. We are pleased that a number of distinguished scholars have joined us to share their thoughts about the emerging global challenge of resistance to antimicrobial agents and pesticides. This challenge is compounded by the ever changing trends in globalization. As a young faculty we are positioning ourselves to play a critical role in the economic and social development of Africa through the training of distinguished health professionals and establishing a distinguished research base, focused on areas in which

    Lwanira et al. Malar J (2017) 16:322 DOI 10.1186/s12936-017-1970-1 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Prevalence of polymorphisms in glucose‑6‑phosphate dehydrogenase, sickle haemoglobin and nitric oxide synthase genes and their relationship with incidence of uncomplicated malaria in Iganga, Uganda Catherine Nassozi Lwanira1†, Fred Kironde2*† , Mark Kaddumukasa3 and Göte Swedberg4 Abstract Background: Host genetics play an important role in Plasmodium falciparum malaria susceptibility. However, information on host genetic factors and their relationships with malaria in the vaccine trial site of Iganga, Uganda is limited. The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of selected host genetic markers and their relationship to malaria incidence in the vaccine trial site of Iganga, Uganda. In a 1-year longitudinal cohort study, 423 children aged below 9 years were recruited and their malaria episodes were investigated. Host genetic polymor- phisms were assessed by PCR–RFLP, haemoglobin electrophoresis and DNA sequencing. Using a multivariate negative binomial regression model, estimates of the impact of human genetic polymorphisms on malaria incidence were performed. In all statistical tests, a P value of <0.05 was considered as signifcant. Results: The prevalences of sickle cell haemoglobin trait, G6PD c.202 G>A (rs 1050828) and NOS2 954 G>C (rs 1800482) variants were 26.6, 22.7 and 17.3%, respectively. Inducible nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2 −954 G>C; rs 1800482) heterozygosity was associated with lower incidence of malaria in all age groups {Adjusted− incident rates ratio (aIRR) 0.59; 95% CI [0.386–0.887]; P 0.012)}.

    Brief on Community Based Rehabilitation Programme (CBR) Implementation - Busia District Introduction: In 2005 the Government of Uganda renewed an Agreement with Norwegian Association of Disabled (NAD) to expand Community Based Rehabilitation Programme to two other new Districts that is Busia and Kayunga. Before this Community Based Rehabilitation Programme with support of NAD was only operating in Tororo District which is also regarded a model District in this programme. Norwegian Association of Disabled also finances Inclusive Education (IE) programme of department of education. Community Based Rehabilitation is defined as a strategy within general Community Development for rehabilitation, equalization of opportunities and social inclusion of all children and Adults with Disabilities themselves, their families and communities and the appropriate health, educational, vocational and social services.
