Mpondwe Main is the only official PoE and attracted the highest flow (316,687 screenings). Mpondwe Depot screened only up to 12th January during the reporting period. • Given the high numbers at Mpondwe Main, no data disaggregation by sex or age is done at data collection stage. Thus, disaggregation for Mpondwe Main in this report is based on average flows of neighboring PoEs of Mpondwe Market Porous, Mpondwe Depot and Kyoweru during the reporting period. • A total of 549,752 screenings have been completed at twenty-one (21) PoEs bordering to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). • Mpondwe Main, Mpondwe Market Porous and Kithoma accounted for 66% of the total flow. • Out of the 13 people that were isolated at Mpondwe Main, 1 was referred to Bwera Ebola treatment Unit (ETU) whereas 12 were handed over to DRC for further investigation. The referral to Bwera ETU was later confirmed EVD negative. Demographic • Ratio of adult females and adult males was 53:35 • 66,048 children under 5 years old were registered during this period (12%).

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.

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.

  • Severe Illness Management Support Final Report July 2015
    Severe Illness Management Support Final Report July 2015 1 Introduction Beginning in July 2014, Walimu implemented the Severe Illness Management Support (SIMS) project in four facilities, Bwera Hospital, Kagando Hospital, Kilembe Mines Hospital and St. Paul Health Centre IV (HCIV), in Kasese District, Uganda. The project aimed to improve triage, emergency care and care for the severely ill, with an emphasis on HIV-infected patients. A private foundation (64% of total funds), and the IMAI-IMCI Alliance (36% of total funds) provided the initial project funding, through April 2015. With remaining funds and additional support from the World Health Organization, the program has been extended through July 2015. 1.2 SIMS Approach SIMS grew from a simple observation: in low-income countries, most patients die of curable conditions because they are not identified and treated early enough. Often the essential resources to care for patients exist, but the necessary systems and provider behaviors for appropriately treating patients are missing. Drawing on a strong peer-reviewed evidence base which demonstrates that training alone is insufficient to change behaviors and systems, SIMS is a multi-pronged post-training quality improvement program designed to follow the WHO IMAI Quick Check+ (QC+) training course in triage, emergency care and management of the severely ill. SIMS includes five components 1) development of a hospital improvement plan and bi-weekly collaborative improvement meetings for an implementing team at the hospital; 2) data audit on vital signs measurement and severe illness management to provide a reliable metric of progress; 3) on-site mentoring by clinical experts and support-supervision visits by a program manager; 4) provision of essential equipment, including vital signs monitoring tools and oxygen equipment; and 5) access to guidelines on patient management, via mobile devices and print materials.
