Mission healthcare may seem to policy-makers to provide a structural obstacle to the integration, coordination and consistency implied by universal health coverage. Whereas Universal and Primary Healthcare have a focus on the community, on prevention, mission medicine by reputation focuses on the curative, on the individual, and on its own adherents. Medical mission focused on groups which were defined as particularly vulnerable, or especially important to the religious aims of the mission. • Missions concentrated on relief for disadvantaged groups such as lepers, the blind and the crippled, ‘biblical manifestations of disease and misery’.

Read Full License Page 1/17 Abstract Background Women with sickle cell disease in Mulago National Referral Hospital face challenges when they become pregnant and they receive the same care as all other high risk pregnant women who come to the hospital. This study explored the lived experiences of pregnancy among women with sickle cell disease receiving care at Mulago National Referral Hospital. Methods This was a qualitative phenomenological study conducted on 15 participants who were women with sickle cell disease with the experience of pregnancy. In-depth audio recorded interviews were conducted to collect data from women who were pregnant at time of study or had ever been pregnant aged 16 to 38 years of age with sickle cell disease. Recorded data was transcribed and analyzed using content thematic approach. Results This study revealed that pregnant women with sickle cell disease faced both negative and positive health care experiences and individual lived experiences of pregnancy. The few positive individual lived experiences were joy of motherhood and giving birth to child free of sickle cell disease whereas the negative individual lived experiences reported were recurrent painful crises, pregnancy loss, premature delivery, stigma and discouragement, relationship discord and desertion by spouse.
