In Progress: Perinatal Death Surveillance and Reviews in Bugiri District
Our teams and other health professionals is conducting Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (PDSR) reviews at Bugiri Hospital in Bugiri District to assess and analyze cases of perinatal deaths, identify contributing factors, and recommend actions to prevent future occurrences.
The review process brings together healthcare workers and key stakeholders to examine the quality of maternal and newborn care, strengthen accountability, and improve health system responses. Findings from the reviews will inform interventions aimed at enhancing service delivery, promoting safe motherhood, and reducing preventable maternal and newborn deaths.

Today, our Monitoring and Evaluation teams underwent training on the eRegistry, a DHIS2-based digital platform designed to integrate health services into one unified system for seamless patient management and reporting.
The eRegistry consolidates services such as HIV, TB, Antenatal Care (ANC), Outpatient Department (OPD), and other health programs, enabling efficient data capture and management across the continuum of care.

This made my week. Picking it from its natural environment felt much more real than paying for it in a tourist shop. Clearly, beyond the Geography lessons non landlocked countries have a clear edge over landlocked ones.

Ebola Virus Disease is a severe and often fatal illness. It spreads through direct contact with the bodily fluids of infected persons, contaminated materials, or the bodies of persons who have died from the disease. Early detection, prompt isolation and care, contact tracing, infection prevention and control, community engagement, and safe and dignified burials are critical to stopping transmission.
