Health system resilience in the context of infectious disease outbreaks: Exploring concepts and experiences, frameworks and tools in Uganda
REFNo: HS5718ES
1. Explore the understanding of the concept of health systems resilience, and determinants that influence building a health system resilient to infectious disease epidemics in Africa.
2. Critically assess the JEE and GHSI tools for their appropriateness to measure resilience to infectious disease outbreaks in Uganda and based on the results adapt/develop a context-specific tool for measuring HSR to infectious disease outbreaks.
3. Assess the resilience of the health systems of Mubende and Kassanda Districts during response to the Ebola virus disease outbreak in 2022 using the context-specific tool and design interventions or strategies to address identified gaps towards building a resilient health systems to infectious disease outbreaks.
4. Identify enablers and barriers to the implementation of proposed strategies and interventions aimed at building a resilient health system to infectious disease epidemics.
