Perspectives of officials, health professionals and patients on surgical care in Eastern Uganda – a qualitative study in the districts surrounding Jinja, Uganda
REFNo: HS409ES
This study hopes to provide health care policy makers and providers with further information on how to better cater their surgical services towards the population’s needs and demands. This will hopefully help to allocate resources in a more effective manner and improve access to surgery and health care utilization in general as well as for certain rarer conditions.
Specific Objectives:
a) Investigating underlying beliefs that lead to decisions in offering and using surgical care in Uganda.
b) Finding out about the function of surgical health service facilities and the referral system in the proximity of Jinja.
c) Investigating how the integration of highly specialized short-term surgical services by external specialist into the local health systems can best be achieved, since it is an organisational challenge for information, medical test, appointments, preparation and post-surgical care.
d) Describing the predominant surgical conditions in the perspectives of populations, providers and planners.
e) Exploring the individual and communal views on reasons for seeking surgical care or refraining from it.
f) Identifying possible necessary messages to the general population, e.g. about the urgency and treatability of certain surgical conditions.
g) Examining social support with regard to possible ‘soft barriers’ to surgical care, while also keeping in mind other barriers (in financing and organization) like costs as well as transport and waiting time.
h) Identifying obstacles to reaching optimum care in all areas of knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) on all sides.
i) Describing the perceived need of surgical conditions, especially regarding perception of symptoms and consequences thereof.
j) Comparing these perceived needs with the evaluated needs as described by providers, planners and reports.
k) Examining interactions between patients and health care providers and the process of care delivery from patients’ and providers’ perspectives.
l) Finding out about perceived health status and consumer satisfaction (outcomes) of patients before and after surgery and factors that influence these outcomes.
m) Comparing these perceptions and satisfaction with the evaluated health status (outcomes) as summarized by providers, planners and reports.

REFNo: SS327ES
The main objective of this program is to provide hands-on rural volunteer community experience to Ugandan and international university students by providing an opportunity to engage communities to identify and work towards solutions to improve community well-being. The specific objectives of the program are:
1. To support communities in southwestern Uganda with health promotion, health messaging, and community strengthening by working with Village Health Teams, health facility staff, community leaders, and District Health Officers
2. To support students in developing skills with community engagement and other principles of MNCH
3. To provide HCU and MNCHI with opportunities to identify areas for future research in communities
4. To expose students to the strengths, innovations, and dynamics of rural southwestern Ugandan communities
5. To promote awareness about global health issues among national and international students
6. To encourage cross-cultural competency, bidirectional learning, and intercultural exchange of ideas
This study will use a mixed-methods approach to quantitatively measure changes in knowledge obtained by student participants as a result of their experiences, in addition to qualitative interviews to compile a narrative about student, health facility staff, facilitator, and community member perspectives. The results from this study will inform future quality improvement for the program and identify areas of strength and weakness to better serve students and the communities involved.
