Description
Phyllis Munyiva Isaiah and a large team assess in 2026 what government health workers in Uganda need to manage long-term illness from intestinal schistosomiasis. The parasitic disease causes heavy chronic harm across Africa, yet guidance and training for its lasting damage are thin. One-day workshops in three districts gathered 105 workers, from clinicians and nurses to sonographers and district managers.
Workers showed real gaps in defining cases, telling active infection from chronic damage, and grading severity. Care routes were fragmented, with weak triage and referral follow-up between facilities. Clinics also lacked the main drug outside mass campaigns, test supplies, working ultrasound machines, and training materials. The authors call for standard definitions, clearer pathways, and practical hands-on training built into routine services.
