Article Synopsis
- Uganda faces a significant malaria issue, with over 33% prevalence in some areas, and the Ministry of Health uses audiovisual messages to promote prevention, particularly for pregnant women.
- An analysis from the Uganda Malaria Indicator Survey revealed that 39% of pregnant women were exposed to malaria messages, resulting in a 17.2% increase in their knowledge of mosquito net usage for prevention.
- The study found that radios were the primary source of malaria information, demonstrating the effectiveness of mass media in enhancing awareness among pregnant women about malaria prevention strategies.
Background: Non-communicable diseases in humanitarian settings are generally under-researched, particularly in Africa and have been called a neglected crisis. Little is known about factors affecting access to and (dis)continuity of care for chronic conditions, such as hypertension (HTN) and type 2 diabetes among forcibly displaced persons (FDPs) in Uganda.
Aim: To investigate factors affecting access to and (dis)continuity of HTN and/or type 2 diabetes care among FDPs in the Bidibidi refugee settlement, Uganda.
Background: Malaria in pregnancy contributes to substantial morbidity and mortality among women in Uganda.

We, therefore, assessed the prevalence and factors associated with malaria in pregnancy among women attending routine antenatal care (ANC) clinics at Arua regional referral hospital in north-western Uganda.
