    CHINESE CONSORTIUM TO REVIVE UGANDA’S COPPER MINES By Fredrick Mugira First published on People’s Daily Online on 17 March 2014 FREDRICK MUGIRA is a multiple award-winning Ugandan journal i s­­t and development communicator who now works with Uganda’s leading multimedia house – Vision Group – as a radio editor. He has reported from various countries in Africa, Europe and most recently in Asia, where he observed African migrants struggling to make a living in Hong Kong as part of a Wits China-Africa Reporting Project tour.

When a Chinese consortium won a concession to revive production at the Kilembe mines in south western Uganda, which had stopped operating in 1982, he applied for a Wits China-Africa Reporting Project grant to find out what the investment would mean for the locals and for Uganda.

  • Alkaline Peptone Water Enrichment with a Dipstick Test to Quickly Detect
    Bwire et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2017) 17:726 DOI 10.1186/s12879-017-2824-8 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Alkaline peptone water enrichment with a dipstick test to quickly detect and monitor cholera outbreaks Godfrey Bwire1* , Christopher Garimoi Orach2, Dauda Abdallah3, Amanda Kay Debes4, Atek Kagirita5, Malathi Ram4 and David A. Sack4 Abstract Background: Detection, confirmation and monitoring of cholera outbreaks in many developing countries including Uganda is a big challenge due to lack of the required resources and the time the test takes. Culture method which takes 24–48 h to get the feedback and requires highly skilled laboratory staff plus other complex resources is the standard test. This study evaluated the new cholera rapid detection method that relies on Crystal VC dipsticks after enrichment with alkaline peptone water (APW) against the culture method for monitoring the progress of cholera outbreaks in rural setting. Methods: We conducted the study between March and June 2015. Fresh stool samples and rectal swabs were incubated in 1% APW for 6 h at room temperature before testing with RDT following the manufacturer’s instruction. The same stool sample was cultured to isolate V. cholerae in the standard manner. We also reviewed patient registers to epidemiologically describe the cholera epidemic. Results: We tested stool from 102 consenting suspected cholera patients reporting during daytime at Bwera Hospital (n = 69), Kilembe Mines Hospital (n = 4) and Kinyabwama Health Centre (n = 29). Ninety one (91) samples were positive and nine samples were negative according to both methods. One (1) sample was positive only by dipstick and one sample was positive only by culture (sensitivity of 99%, specificity of 90%, Positive Predictive Value of 99% and Negative Predictive Value of 90%).

  • 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.
