Child Healthcare

We increase the survival of children who present to the hospital with sepsis or severe illness. We do so by testing and implementing innovations in triage and post-discharge care.

Smart Discharges

Smart Discharges is an evidence-based approach to improving the paediatric discharge process and hence improving paediatric care in Uganda. This is an implementation science project testing intervention linking caregivers of children from the facilities to the community.
