LEVERAGING RHEUMATIC HEART DISEASE SCREENING PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE IN NORTHERN UGANDA
REFNo: HS5492ES

1) To improve the quality of life for families living with CHD in Uganda. Our overarching hypothesis is that building a system centered on the needs of patients and providers at the community level will improve care and quality of life for many while simultaneously building the case to invest in more resource intensive tertiary infrastructure.
Our project leverages our team’s expertise and established government and community collaborations to improve CHD care by accomplishing following specific aim as the first step to delivering and testing an evidence-based primary Health Center (HC) driven program - Congenital Heart Interventions for Primary care Systems (CHIPS) - to care for children with CHD incidentally identified through RHD screening.

2) Identify needs, gaps, and capacities in CHD care to co-design the CHIPS technical package with end-users (patients, caregivers and community providers) by collecting quantitative and qualitative data on current care, care needs, access, and affordability and perspectives on proposed components of CHIPS to co-design content and delivery.
