Trade Union Actions Against HIV/AIDS in Uganda O I T a Worker’S Educational Manual C A N O T U Bureau for Workers' Activities of the International Labour Organization in co-operation with National Organization of Trade Unions, Uganda UNITY Uganda is one of most inspiring examples of an effective national response, having successfully reduced overall prevalence of HIV since its peak in 1992. This was done through a variety of prevention approaches including community mobilization, pioneering nongovernmental organization (NGO) projects and public education campaigns emphasizing delayed sexual initiation, partner reduction l and condom use. Strong political leadership, destigmatization and open communication were key a u aspects of the Ugandan response to AIDS. n a UNAIDS. 2004 Report on the Global HIV/AIDS Epidemic : 4th Global Report. Page 73. M l a n o The manual is aimed at educating all workers in general, and trade union members in particular, on i t the subject of HIV/AIDS. It is meant to serve as a useful tool in equipping workers with the basic facts a c about HIV/AIDS, the magnitude and impact of the disease, international and national legislation, u and, more importantly, the role of organised labour in the fight against the epidemic at the workplace. d E The manual educates the reader about non-discrimination against workers living with HIV/AIDS; s ’ clauses in collective bargaining agreements; developing preventive education programmes; r e k strengthening health and precautions at work; care, support and counselling to workers infected or r affected by HIV/AIDS and to their families as well. o W Jim Baker, A Director,Bureau for Workers’ Activities, ILO a d n In close collaboration with Bureau for Workers’ Activities of the ILO, NOTU has prepared this manual a g whose purpose is to ensure that trade union members are equipped with the relevant knowledge and U skills to deal with the HIV/AIDS pandemic. It is hoped that the manual will be instrumental in n i stimulating discussions, debate and awareness at the workplace on how to prevent the spread of the S epidemic and thus contribute towards increase of knowledge on HIV/AIDS, which will eventually D I change workers’ attitude and risky behaviours.

  • Investigation of Common Bacterial Pathogens Leading to Urinary Tract Infections Among Patients with Diabetes Mellitus in Sub-Saharan Africa
    INVESTIGATION OF Common Bacterial Pathogens Leading TO Urinary TRACT INFECTIONS Among Patients WITH Diabetes Mellitus IN Sub-SaharAN Africa. Jackline NakkunguA A Department OF MicrOBIOLOGY, Faculty OF Health Sciences, University OF Kisubi, Kisubi, Uganda AbstrACT Background:A The RISK OF DIABETIC PATIENTS ACQUIRING UTIS IS HIGHER THAN THAT OF THEIR non-diabetic counterparts. This IS DUE TO THE DAMAGE ON THE URINARY BLADDER NERVES CAUSED BY HIGH BLOOD GLUCOSE LEvels. This NERVE DAMAGE REDUCES THE ABILITY OF THE URINARY BLADDER TO SENSE THE PRESENCE OF URINE IN it. As A Result, URINE STAYS FOR A LONG TIME IN THE bladder, INCREASING THE GROWTH OF THE BACTERIA IN urine. UTI’S MAY LEAD TO EMPHYSEMATOUS Pyelonephritis, CYSTITIS IN females, RENAL AND PERIRENAL abscess, PAPILLARY NECRosis, XANTHOGRANULOMATOUS Pyelonephritis, AND FUNGAL infections. TherE IS LIMITED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE BACTERIA AffECTING DIABETIC PATIENTS IN Uganda. Methodology: IN A CRoss-sectional STUDY, 76 DIABETIC PATIENTS AT Our Lady OF Consolata Kisubi Hospital HAD THEIR URINE SAMPLES COLLECTED AND ANALYZED FOR THE PRESENCE OF URo-bacterial PATHOGENS IN THE MICROBIOLOGY LABORATORY AT THE University OF Kisubi. Patients WERE INSTRUCTED ON HOW TO COLLECT MIDSTREAM urine, WHICH WERE CULTURED ON BLOOD AGAR AND MacConkEY AGAR plates. The BACTERIA WERE IDENTIfiED ACCORDING TO COLONY size, shape, AND hemolysis. SeVERAL BIOCHEMICAL TESTS WERE USED TO CONfiRM THE PRESENCE OF THE DIffERENT BACTERIA STRAINS FROM THE INDIVIDUAL SUBCULTURED COLONIES Results Escherichia COLI WAS THE MOST PREDOMINANT BACTERIUM ASSOCIATED WITH UTIS IN DIABETES MELLITUS WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF 42.3 %. This WAS FOLLOWED BY Klebsiella SPECIES WITH 21.1%, Staphylococcus AUREUS WITH 14.1%, StrEPTOCOCCUS SPECIES AT 11.76%, PrOTEUS SPECIES AT 5.8%, EnterOCOCCUS FAECALIS AT 3.5%, AND SerrATIA MARCESCENS WITH 1.17%.
