Transition To Scale: Using the FREO2 Social Enterprise model and technology to scale up access to Oxygen in Uganda
REFNo: HS1238ES

The aim of this project is to evaluate the impact of a reliable oxygen system on improving a) oxygen reliability and affordability, b) clinical outcomes for children.

With a strong emphasis on clinical and technical training, the project activities should:
a) Improve the availability of oxygen, the detection of hypoxaemia, and the access of a sick child to oxygen when they require it
b) Reduce patient and health system costs of oxygen
c) Understand appropriateness, acceptability, and feasibility of the system in the specific context of health facilities in Western Uganda

Evaluation of Xpert® MTB/XDR test for susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to first and second line drugs
REFNo: HS1395ES

Secondary: To evaluate factors for lab uptake o Training needs o Recording and Reporting Needs o Error rates o Proportion of results interpretable o TAT o Work flow,Assess sensitivity and specificity of Xpert® MTB/XDR test in previously stored sputum samples (previously stored) compared to the WHO-endorsed genotypic (MTBDRplus and MTBDRsl) method as a gold standard.,Assess sensitivity and specificity of Xpert® MTB/XDR test in previously stored sputum samples (previously stored) compared to the WHO-endorsed MGIT960 culture-based drug susceptibility method as a gold standard,The main objective is to independently validate the performance of the Xpert® MTB/XDR test for susceptibility testing of MTB among presumptive XDR-TB patients. The test performance indicators will be compared with current standard drug susceptibility test methods including the MGIT 960 liquid culture drug susceptibility (DST) systems, Line probe Assay and Whole genome sequencing. ,
