EXAMINING THE EFFECT OF SERVICE DELIVERY FACTORS ON TIMELY INITIATION OF TUBERCULOSIS TREATMENT WITHIN PRIMARY CARE SETTINGS IN UGANDA
REFNo: HS205ES
The study goal is to examine the association between service delivery factors and timeliness of Tuberculosis treatment initiation within accredited primary care facilities in Uganda. Here service delivery factors are characteristics relating to HF structure and care delivery.
The specific aims are:
Aim 1: To explore the association between service-delivery factors (structural and care delivery characteristics) and process timeliness (diagnosis time, laboratory turnaround time and treatment initiation time)
Aim 2: To measure the association between process timeliness and Tuberculosis treatment initiation
Aim 3: Describe perspectives of healthcare workers (in-charges of outpatient departments, heads of clinical teams and heads of laboratories) within each accredited health facility on preventing delays in diagnosis and initiation of Tuberculosis treatment.

Analysis of the genetic determinism of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
REFNo: HS125ES
1) Determine the association between chosen genetic markers among patients with HCC compared with subjects from Uganda with advanced liver fibrosis (F4 or cirrhosis). 2) Explore additional genetic markers of HCC by selected sequencing (targeted sequencing and exome sequencing) of the genome of subjects with HCC compared to controls from Uganda. 3) Determine whether these markers correlate with the clinical stages of HCC and could be predictive of HCC progression. 4) To describe clinical outcomes of advanced liver fibrosis (F4 or cirrhosis) or HCC over the study follow-up period.

No One Left Behind? A Study on the Human Rights of Women Living With HIV/AIDS in Uganda
REFNo: SS140ES
A study on adult women living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda. The study will include an examination of how women’s rights are integrated into HIV/AIDS-related laws, policies, programs, and initiatives in Uganda. We will further examine any challenges that women may face in family life, healthcare settings, or in the workplace because of their status, as well as any distinction in the experiences of women in urban versus rural settings. We hope that this research will help support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 – good health and well-being and 5 gender equality.
