REFNo: SS881ES
The aim of this research is to assess the negative impact of COVID-19 disease control measures, including lockdown, on child and women’s health in Uganda with diverse pandemic and distinct policy approaches.
Specific objectives
1. Describe the design, evolution and effects of COVID-19 control measures and understand the policies, strategies and measures put in place.
2. Conduct a rapid impact assessment of COVID-19 and its control measures on health systems functioning with a focus on child health and women’s health.

REFNo: HS1443ES
Primary Objectives
To estimate the following in a household-based, representative sample of adult refugees, aged 15+ years:
1) Prevalence of HIV in adult refugees in Uganda
Secondary Objectives
To estimate the following in the Ugandan refugee population aged 15+ years:
1) Prevalence of HIV viral load suppression (VLS - defined as HIV RNA <1000 copies/milliliter (mL));
2) Prevalence of HIV-related risk behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes;
3) Behavioral and demographic determinants of HIV prevalence;
4) Exposure to, uptake of and barriers to access to HIV-related services;
5) Prevalence of primary and secondary antiretroviral (ARV) drug-resistance (DR) among refugees with viral loads greater than 200 cp/ml;
6) Assess progress towards achievement of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) 90-90-90 targets

Unmet Need in Essential Medicines and Health Supplies in Ugandan Public Health Facilities.
REFNo: SS886ES
Our first research aims to assess the effect of shortages of selected medicines and health supplies on patients on patients in district-level MOH facilities
The following objectives will facilitate the achievement of this aim:
1. To collect data from health facility registers in order to list 100% of prescriptions written at a representative sample of MOH health facilities over 3 National Medical Stores distribution cycles.
2. To calculate how often filled, unfilled and modified prescriptions affect 100% of patients within selected districts over a 6-month time period, or 3 (as sheduled) National Medical Stores (NMS) cycles, depending on which is longer
3. To compare and contrast the availability of 59 essential medicines throughout each NMS distribution cycles
4. To compare health supply patterns for when medicines are in stock vs. out of stock and describe differences in functioning between medicines and health supplies over 3 NMS cycles.
5. To design and pilot a template approach to tracking data over a six-month period, in order to support continuous improvement in health systems in Uganda.
Our second research aim is to share data on the extent of medicine and health supply shortages with Uganda’s MOH and other stakeholders in order to inform corrective action The following objectives will facilitate the achievement of this aim:
1. To analyse the extent of medicine and health supply shortages within health facilities in MOH over a period of 6 months
2. To provide recommendations that may influence decisions that improve medicine and health supply management, benefit patients, and can be scaled to other regions.

Propagation and Growth performance of Schkuhria pinnata L, for Optimal Phytochemical Contents and Antimalarial Activity in Uganda
REFNo: HS1516ES
Main objective
To examine the most viable propagation avenues and growth performance in relation to phytochemical contents and antimalarial activity of S. pinnata in Uganda.
Specific objectives
1. To evaluate agronomic dynamics of S. pinnata under varying climatic conditions of AEZs of Western and South Western Uganda
2. To examine the propagation potentials of S. pinnata through micro-propagation.
3. To evaluate phytochemical components and determine quantitative variations of flavonoids at four developmental stages
4. To determine acute dose and evaluate the plant age effect on antimalarial activity of S. pinnata.
