Annual Health Sector Performance Report THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA Annual Health Sector Performance Report Financial Year 2006/2007 October 2007 Blank Page Foreword The health sector in FY 2006/07 implemented the 2nd Year of the Health Sector Strategic Plan II (HSSP II). The focus has been on scaling up interventions and consolidating reforms initiated during the HSSP I and in the 1st Year of the HSSP II in order to achieve the Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP) objectives and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The Uganda Demographic and Health Survey 2006 shows that there have been improvements in Infant Mortality Rate, Under5 Mortality Rate and Total Fertility Rate. The data is not conclusive on Maternal Mortality Ratio. These improvements in health outcomes indicate that it is indeed possible to make a difference in the life of Ugandans. The improvements in health outcomes were contributed to by different sectors; however the contribution of the health sector in terms of stewardship and advocacy, and improved coverage with good quality services for preventive, promotive and curative has been key. The AHSPR 2006/07 documents sector performance against agreed HSSP II indicators and Year II targets. The AHSPR 2006/07 indicates fairly good performance as shown by the performance against the 8 PEAP and HSSP II indicators. The sector performance for FY 2006/07 was on or above target for 3 indicators namely: Couple Years of Protection (CYP) a measure of family planning uptake; Proportion of children below 1 year that have received pentavalent vaccine 3rd dose; and New OPD attendance per capita. Sector performance was below target for 3 indicators namely: Proportion of deliveries taking place in government and PNFP health facilities; Proportion of health facilities with tracer medicines all the time (i.e. without stock outs of tracer medicines); and Sanitation measured by household latrine coverage. It was not possible to determine sector performance against 2 indicators namely: Proportion of approved posts filled by trained health workers; and HIV Sero-prevalence. The sector’s performance over FY 2006/07 had many challenges including: low and stagnant levels of funding from the government budget; and increasing but rather unpredictable and earmarked funds from Donor Projects and Global Health Initiatives. Given this scenario it is important that we continue improving our coordination mechanisms within the sector to ensure increased efficiency and maximum benefit from all resources available to the sector. All stakeholders in the sector including central and local government leaders (politicians, administrators and technical staff), development partners, civil society representatives, and private providers of health services, need to contribute to improved sector performance. The National Health Assembly and Joint Review Mission present an opportunity for sharing of ideas among stakeholders. At the end of December 2007 we will have been through two and a half (2 1/2) years of the HSSP II. As stakeholders in the sector it is important that we review our Mid- Term performance and see whether we are in line with the HSSP II and MDGs. If the current strategies are unlikely to take us where we would like to go, we should be frank and say so, and come up with more relevant and appropriate strategies.

1 Introduction 1.1 Background The FY 2006/07 was the second year of implementation of the Health Sector Strategic Plan II (HSSP II 2005/06 to 2009/10). As per the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the implementation of the HSSP II through the Sector Wide Approach (SWAp), the preparation and discussion of an Annual Health Sector Performance Report (AHSPR) is a key milestone. 1.2 The framework for achieving sector goals & objectives In the HSSP II the framework for the sector programme has been adjusted to reflect the central nature of the delivery of the Uganda National Minimum Health Care Package (UNMHCP) and the important and supportive role the programme objectives have. Similarly the organisation of sector plans and reports like the AHSPR reflect this restructuring, with the focus in the document on the performance against the UNMHCP and the supporting Health System (Figure 1.1). 1.3 The Annual Health Sector Performance Report FY 2006/07 The AHSPR 2006/07 objectives are: o To review the performance of the sector for the FY 2006/07 identifying achievements and constraints; o To assess progress towards HSSP II targets – in particular review against HSSP II Year II targets. The HSSP II includes a set of indicators and targets against which sector performance is reviewed. The indicators were chosen through a thorough consultative process to reflect: o Sector policy priorities,

LUKWAGO 1 Albany Medical College, Albany, NY, USA 2 Epidemiology and Surveillance Division, Ministry of Health, Kampala, Uganda 3 Moroto District Health Office, Moroto, Uganda 4 Makerere University School of Public Health, Kampala, Uganda (Accepted 31 August 2011; first published online 27 September 2011) SUMMARY In sub-Saharan Africa, many nomadic pastoralists have begun to settle in permanent communities as a result of long-term water, food, and civil insecurity. Little is known about the epidemiology of cholera in these emerging semi-nomadic populations. We report the results of a case-control study conducted during a cholera outbreak among semi-nomadic pastoralists in the Karamoja sub-region of northeastern Uganda in 2010. Data from 99 cases and 99 controls were analysed. In multivariate analyses, risk factors identified were: residing in the same household as another cholera case [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 6.67, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.83–15.70], eating roadside food (aOR 2.91, 95% CI 1.24–6.81), not disposing of children’s faeces in a latrine (aOR 15.76, 95% CI 1.54–161.25), not treating drinking water with chlorine (aOR 3.86, 95% CI 1.63–9.14), female gender (aOR 2.43, 95% CI 1.09–5.43), and childhood age (10–17 years) (aOR 7.14, 95% CI 1.97–25.83).

  • Leishmaniasis in Uganda: Historical Account and a Review of the Literature
    Open Access Review Leishmaniasis in Uganda: Historical account and a review of the literature Joseph Olobo-Okao1, 2, &, Patrick Sagaki3 1Department of Microbiology, College of Health Sciences, School of Biomedical Sciences, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda, 2Med Biotech Laboratories, Kampala, Uganda, 3Amudat Hospital, Amudat district, Moroto, Uganda &Corresponding author: Joseph Olobo-Okao, Department of Microbiology, College of Health Sciences, School of Biomedical Sciences, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda| Med Biotech Laboratories, Kampala, Uganda Key words: Leishmaniasis, Uganda, management Received: 27/03/2012 - Accepted: 14/10/2013 - Published: 04/05/2014 Abstract Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) or kala azar is a fatal and neglected disease caused by protozoan parasites. It occurs worldwide including north-eastern Uganda. This review gives a historical account of and reviews available literature on VL in Uganda to raise more awareness about the disease. Information was collected from: MEDLINE searches; records of Ministry of Health (Uganda), Amudat hospital records; records of NGOs and multilateral institutions; dissertations and personal communication. Results show that VL in Uganda was first reported in the 1950's, followed by almost four decades of neglect. Earlier records from the ministry of health and Amudat hospital on VL are also incomplete. From early 2000, reports mainly on the disease management and risk factors, started to appear in the literature. Management of VL has mainly been by NGOs and multilateral institutions including MSF Swiss. Currently DNDi is funding its management and clinical trials in Amudat hospital through LEAP. New cases of VL were reported recently from Moroto and Kotido districts and more patients continue to be received from these areas.
