Impact of the digitised Community Health Toolkit on child health outcomes in rural Uganda​

The digitised CHT intervention in Buikwe district was instrumental in enabling the availability of services for children under five in the community.

In 2019, Uganda’s Ministry of Health (MoH) launched the Community Health Roadmap outlining priority needs for the community health programme, including investing in the scale-up of appropriate technology for community health implementation and supervision. Since August 2020, Malaria Consortium has been supporting the MoH to develop its digitised Community Health Toolkit within its community health information system. We funded and provided technical assistance for the development of the integrated community case management+ (iCCM+) module of the CHT platform by aligning it with updated 2021 iCCM+ guidelines and pilot implementation in Buikwe district. The main goal of this study was to assess the impact of digital iCCM on child health outcomes.
