  • Prevalence, Pattern and Perceptions of Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate Among
    Kesande et al. BMC Oral Health 2014, 14:104 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6831/14/104 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prevalence, pattern and perceptions of cleft lip and cleft palate among children born in two hospitals in Kisoro District, Uganda Teopista Kesande1†, Louis Mugambe Muwazi2†, Aisha Bataringaya2† and Charles Mugisha Rwenyonyi2*† Abstract Background: Cleft lip with or without cleft palate is one of the most common congenital anomalies that affect the oro-facial region. The aim of the study was to determine the period prevalence, pattern and perceptions of cleft lip and cleft palate in children born between 2005 and 2010 in two hospitals in Kisoro District, Uganda. Methods: The study involved a retrospective review of medical records of mothers who delivered live babies between January 2005 and December 2010 in Kisoro Hospital and St. Francis Hospital, Mutolere in Kisoro District. Key informant interviews of mothers (n = 20) of the children with cleft lip and/or clip palate and selected medical staff (n = 24) of the two hospitals were carried out. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Results: Over the 6 year period, 25,985 mothers delivered live babies in Kisoro Hospital (n = 13,199) and St. Francis Hospital, Mutolere (n = 12,786) with 20 babies having oro-facial clefts. The overall period prevalence of the clefts was 0.77/1,000 live births. Sixty percent (n = 12) of children had combined cleft lip and palate and the same proportion had clefts on the left side of the face. More boys were affected than girls: 13 versus 7.

    DATA FOR THE BOSS: EVIDENCE OF NON-USE OF HEALTH MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM 2(1) 3-12 UMU Press 2007 THEME ONE: MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES DATA FOR THE BOSS: EVIDENCE OF NON-USE OF HEALTH MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (HMIS) DATA IN BUFUMBIRA EAST HEALTH SUB-DISTRICT, KISORO DISTRICT Nsekuye Paschal, Community Health Department, St. Francis Mutolere Hospital, Kisoro, Uganda Abstract A goal of the health management information system (HMIS) is to provide reliable, comprehensive information about the health system to health managers, to enable them take decisions that will improve the services provided to the consumers. Whereas HMIS quality concerns like the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of reports have been more commonly assessed and reported about in a number of studies, relatively less documentation is found on the actual utilisation of the information generated from HMIS reports. Yet, the HMIS is not an end in itself but just a tool to inform managers and enable them take informed and timely decisions. This study assessed the utilisation of HMIS data for decision making at the grassroots level in Bufumbira East Health Sub-District (HSD) of Kisoro District. It was found that HMIS data were not used for decision making at the point of collection and that the HMIS was dogged by many problems like few dedicated staff. The staff lacked sensitization on the HMIS and were not trained in completing the reports and data analysis. Lower level units submitted their data directly to the district bypassing the HSD. The HMIS was not planned for and lacked funding and stationery. HMIS functioning was not a subject for support supervision and there was only verbal feedback from the district level.

  • The FPS Mountain Gorilla Project—A Report from Rwanda
    The FPS Mountain Gorilla Project— a Report from Rwanda A.H. Harcourt and Kai Curry-Lindahl In February 1978 the story broke in Europe and America of the killing of Digit, a wild mountain gorilla known by millions outside Rwanda through his appearance on television with Dr Dian Fossey, the American zoologist who has been studying gorillas in the Virunga Volcanoes for eleven years. FPS immediately set up an appeal for funds, to protect the gorillas. This was promoted by the Sunday Times and collected nearly £8000, some from school conservation clubs sending all their savings. Encouraged by this splendid response FPS decided to launch a major Mountain Gorilla Project to help Rwanda to guard the gorillas and the Pare National des Volcans. The goal is £50,000. But before this could be launched, FPS, working in close association with WWF, needed up-to-date information on the situation in Rwanda and decided to send a small mission to report. The members were Professor Kai Curry-Lindahl, FPS Vice President, world-renowned scientist and conservationist who has worked in the Virungas at intervals since 1952 and knows the problems, especially on the Zaire side; Dr A.H. Harcourt, Coordinator of the Mountain Gorilla Project, who studied gorillas for two years in the Virungas and knew Digit well, and Brian Jackman, whose story in the Sunday Times on the death of Digit was mainly responsible for the money so far donated. They arrived in Rwanda in early August to be greeted with the news that two more gorillas of Dian Fossey's study groups, including 'Uncle Bert', had been killed.
