Shaping the future: Our strategy for research and innovation in humanitarian response.
The negative impact of COVID-19 on population health outcomes raises critical questions on health system preparedness and resilience, especially in resource-limited settings. This mixed methods, cross-sectional study examined healthworker preparedness for COVID-19 management and implementation experiences in Uganda’s refugee-hosting districts.
The study concludes that healthworkers preparedness is inadequate in some aspects. Implementation of healthcare interventions is constrained by the complexity of Uganda’s health system design, top-down approach of the national response to COVID-19 and longstanding health system bottlenecks. The authors recommend continuous information sharing on COVID-19, a design review with capacity strengthening at all health facility levels and investing in community-facing strategies.
