ABSTRACTS Congress on Health in Africa ABSTRACTS Congress on Health in Africa 34th FIMA Scientific Congress Congress on Health in Africa 20-21 July 2017 - İstanbul Türkiye The Objectives of the Conference Africa should have a much larger space in people’s hearts than the area it covers on the earth’s surface. Although interregional access and communication have been only a matter of time compared to the past, Africa is still far away. New problems are being added to the old ones as the continent’s humanitarian problems, which had remained unchanged for centuries, deepen day by day. The foremost of these problems are health-related issues, which also trigger other difficulties encountered on the continent. Moreover, the existence of overly individualist people in modern times overrides the conventional aid delivery methods that have been used to address these problems. This difficulty is accompanied by coordination problems of various aid agencies both with regional governments and between themselves. For sure, it is not possible to refer to a homogeneous unit when talking about a continent. There are many stratified and diverse health problems that have their historical roots in different geographical regions and different cultures across the continent. However, it is still possible for humanity to adopt at least a common-sense vision or strategy and, most importantly, a conscientious sensitivity for the continent as a whole. But at the same time, those images that cry out to our conscience are stifling our feelings, as if the current situation of the continent was its absolute destiny. Thus, we encode the continent as an aid-dependent and passive region. Yet, with effective, coordinated, and well-planned policies it is possible to find both global and local solutions to the humanitarian problems of Africa, and it is also possible to compromise on the ways that will ensure that Africa can stand on its own feet. Starting from these concerns, the international Congress of Health in Africa is currently being held in Turkey, the country where the landmasses of the three continents are coming the closest to one other. This congress, which will set out on a quest to find a common ground for Africa, aiming to bring participants from Africa and from different regions all over the world closer, is open for contributions of participants in a very wide range of health-related issues. 2 ABSTRACTS Congress on Health in Africa Program July 20, 2017 08:30-10:00 Registration 10:00-11:00 Opening Ceremony 11:00-12:00 Keynote Speech Recep Akdağ, Prof, Türkiye Minister of Health, Republic of Turkey 12:00-14:00 Lunch Break Hall A 14:00-15:30 Session-A1 Turkey’s Changing Approach to Africa and Turkey’s Identity in an African Perspective Kani Torun, MD, Türkiye Chair Ahmet Kavas, Prof, Türkiye A Multi-Faceted Approach to the Ottoman/Turkish-African Relations Menouar Alem, Ambassador, Morocco Marcel Mulumba Tshidimba, Ambassador, DR Congo Africa on the Horizon of 2063 and the Role of Strategic Partners Ahmet Rıza Demirer, Ambassador, Türkiye New Period for the Turkish-African Diplomatic Relationship 15:30-15:45 Coffee Break 15:45-17:00 Session-A2 Turkish Ministry of Health’s Activities in Africa Hasan Çağıl, Dr, Türkiye Chair Öner Güner, MD, Türkiye International Health Policies of Turkey and Africa Ali Kalyoncu, MD, Türkiye The Field Experiences in Sudan and Somalia Nurullah Okumuş, Prof, Türkiye International Patient Policy Implementations Fatih Tan, Türkiye Possible Collabortion Areas in Medicine , Medical Devices and Cosmetics 17:00-17:30 Coffee Break ABSTRACTS 3 Congress on Health in Africa 17:30-19:00 Session-A3 Turkish Institutions in Africa: Field Experiences Mehmet Koç, Prof, Türkiye Chair Serdar Çam, Türkiye Activities of TİKA in Health Sector for the Development of Africa Kerem Kınık, MD, Türkiye Healthcare in Africa and the Turkish Red Crescent Bülent Yıldırım, Türkiye Experiences in Africa and Problems in the Field from the Perspective of IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundatiton Yahyahan Güney, MD, Türkiye The Process of Evolution from Voluntary Based Organizations to Professional Non-Governmental Organization Mehmet Cengiz, Türkiye Deniz Feneri Association and Humanitarian Aid Models, Processes and Sustainability Hall B 14:00-15:30 Session-B1 Basic Health Problems in Africa: Diseases and Epidemics Arif Kaygusuz, Prof, Türkiye Chair Magid Kagimu, Prof, Uganda Religiosity for HIV Prevention in Africa: An Under Recognised, Under Supported and Under Utilized Intervention with Enormous Potential Mustafa Idris Elbashir, Prof, Sudan Socioeconomic Burden of Endemic Diseases in Africa with Emphasis on Malaria Mamoun Homeida, Prof, Sudan Transforming from African Programme of Onchocerciasis Control to Elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases Nazir Ismail, MD, South Africa Tuberculosis in Africa: Challenges and Opportunities 15:30-15:45 Coffee Break 15:45-17:00 Session-B2 Basic Health Problems in Africa: Politics, Infrastructure, Human Beings, Service and Finance Mustafa Taşdemir, Prof, Türkiye Chair 4 ABSTRACTS Congress on Health in Africa Mamoun Homeida, Prof, Sudan Health Problems in Africa and Fight Against Them Muna Abdel Aziz, MD, United Kingdom Highlights and Lessons Learnt from the Wider Health System in Sudan Victor Sullay Kamara, MD, Türkiye The Effect of Poverty and Opportunities in Sierra Leone’s Health Albert Mbonerane, Burundi In Burundi the Poor People Die of Malaria.

  • Evidence-Based Monitoring and Evaluation of the Faith-Based Approach to HIV Prevention Among Christian and Muslim Youth in Wakiso District in Uganda
    Evidence-based monitoring and evaluation of the faith-based approach to HIV prevention among Christian and Muslim youth in Wakiso district in Uganda *Kagimu M1, 2, 3, Kaye S1, 5, Ainomugisha D1, Lutalo I5, Walakira Y1, Guwatudde D2, Rwabukwali C4 1. Islamic Medical Association of Uganda 2. Makerere University School of Public Health 3. Department of Medicine, Makerere University College of Health Sciences. 4. Department of Sociology, Makerere University 5. Makerere University School of Public Health – CDC/HIV/AIDS Fellowship Program Abstract Background: The Islamic Medical Association of Uganda, has been implementing the faith-based approach to HIV prevention without baseline data on expected positive outcomes. Objectives: To establish evidence-based baseline data on expected positive outcomes of the faith-based approach to HIV prevention. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 15-24 year-old youths was analyzed for significant associations between HIV infections, risky behaviors, and religiosity. Results: HIV prevalence was 3.6% among Christians and 2.4% among Muslims. Abstaining from sex among teenagers was at 54% for Christians and 58% for Muslims. Being faithful in marriage among males was at 41% for Christians and 34% for Muslims and among females it was 65% for Christians and 69% for Muslims. Praying privately was associated with lower HIV infections and was observed among 60% of Christians. Sujda, the hyperpigmented marker of regular prayers on the forehead of Muslims was associated with lower HIV infections and observed in 42% of them. Ever drank alcohol was associated with higher HIV prevalence and observed in 52% of Christians and 17% of Muslims.

    Screening for hepatitis C among HIV positive patients at Mulago Hospital in Uganda Walusansa V and *Kagimu M Makerere University College of Health Sciences, School of Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Gastroenterology Division Abstract Background: In industrialized countries with more resources, it is recommended that HIV infected patients should be screened for hepatitis C virus (HCV) on entry into the health care system. Implementation of these guidelines in a country like Uganda with limited resources requires some modification after taking into account the prevailing circumstances. These include the prevalence of HCV in HIV positive patients and the cost of HCV testing. Objective: The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of HCV in HIV positive patients. Methods: This was a cross sectional study among HIV positive outpatients in Mulago hospital. HCV screening was done using anti-HCV Enzyme Immuno Assay (Roche Diagnostics) Results: Between October 2003 and February 2004, one hundred and twenty two HIV positive patients were enrolled into the study with a mean age of 33.9 years. There were more females 81 (66.4%) than males. Only 4 patients had anti-HCV, giving an estimated HCV prevalence of 3.3%. Conclusion: In view of the low HCV prevalence found in our study and similar studies and considering the high cost of HCV screening, routine HCV testing cannot be recommended among all HIV positive patients in our health care settings with limited resources. We recommend that HCV screening be limited to investigating HIV positive patients with features suggestive of liver disease in order to identify HCV as a possible cause.

  • The Utility of the Helicobacter Pylori Stool Antigen Test in Managing Dyspepsia: an Experience from a Low Resource Setting
    The Utility of the helicobacter pylori stool antigen test in managing dyspepsia: an experience from a low resource setting Innocent Lule Segamwenge , Magid Kagimu , Ponsiano Ocama, Kenneth Opio Makerere University College of Health sciences, School of Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Gastroenterology Division Abstract Background: Dyspepsia is defined as a chronic or recurrent pain or discomfort centered in the upper abdomen. Endos- copy is the best strategy for confirming the cause of dyspepsia. Non- invasive strategies would be more appropriate in low resource countries where endoscopy is not readily available. However, there is concern that these strategies may miss seri- ous disease like gastric cancer. One test that needs to be assessed in this regard is the Helicobacter pylori stool antigen test (HPSAT). Objective: To determine the validity of the stool antigen test in predicting H. pylori associated disease among patients with dyspepsia. Methods: In this prospective study patients with dyspepsia attending Mulago Hospital were recruited consecutively. Helico- bacter pylori was determined using the Rapid Strip HpSA ®, endoscopy and gastric mucosal biopsy were done. Results: 167 patients with dyspepsia were recruited into the study. There were ninety six (57.5%) females and seventy one (42.5%) males with an average age of 48.1(±18.1) years. Patients presenting with dyspepsia in Mulago hospital were more likely to come from the Central 60 (36%) and western tribes 55 (33%). The commonest endoscopic finding was oesophagitis 25 (15%). Peptic ulcer disease was found in 32 (19.2%) and 54 (32.3%) had normal endoscopy findings. H pylori was found in 33.5% and 32.5% using the HPSAT and histology respectively.
