Strengthening health facility support for integrated community case management services in Uganda saves lives

Supporting Uganda Malaria Reduction and Elimination Strategy (SUMRES) is a project, led by Malaria Consortium, that is assisting 12 local governments in northern Uganda by improving district-level supervision of village health teams (VHT) in line with revised integrated community case management (iCCM) guidelines. This includes providing mentorship, quarterly face-to-face VHT supervision visits and improved communication for referral activities. Malaria Consortium conducted an evaluation to assess the impact of the project on VHT utilisation and child health outcomes from September 2021 to December 2022.
