We sought to explore the challenges faced by mental health services from the perspectives of service users, providers, and policymakers during the COVID-19 pandemic in Uganda and the strategies put in place to ensure the continuity of these services.
Methods: qualitative data were collected using semi-structured interviews with eight mental health service users, four mental health workers, four hospital administrators, four district mental health focal persons, and two policymakers.
Objective: This study evaluated an epilepsy training program for healthcare workers that was designed to improve their knowledge of epilepsy, its treatment, and its psychosocial effects.
