Immunization uptake for childhood vaccine-preventable diseases remains low in urban areas of Uganda, leading to repeated outbreaks of diseases like measles, despite easy communication and accessibility to services. The objectives of this study were to establish immunization coverage and to identify the factors that affect the uptake of immunization among the children aged 10 – 23 months in Nansana Municipality, Wakiso District, Uganda. This was a cross-sectional mixed methods study, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Assessment of immunization uptake was carried out on 344 parents/guardians of children aged 10–23 months, using simple random sampling on pre-tested structured questionnaires. Data was analyzed using SPSS 20.0 software. Additionally, 2 focus group discussions with parents and key informant interviews with immunization focal persons were also conducted. Immunization coverage was found to be 90.4% for BCG, 89.3% for Penta1, 80.7% for Penta2, 72.5% for Penta3 and 73.9% for measles1. Availability of vaccines (AOR= 33, 95% CI, 1.44 – 792, p=0.03), accessibility to immunization services (AOR = 32, 95% CI, 2.0 – 513, p=0.01) and communication between the parents and health workers about the return dates (AOR = 0.03, 95% CI, 0.01 – 0.83, p=0.03), were the factors that were independently associated with immunization uptake. The coverage rates were higher than the national average, with the health care service-related factors identified as being critical for improving immunization uptake. There is a need for improved vaccine supply and communication about immunization services, which should be designed considering the local context in collaboration with slum-dwelling communities.

Abstract ObjectivesThis study examines health facility utilization for pregnancy and delivery care and the health system challenges, in the light of renewed conflict in 2016, in Torit County, South Sudan. We collected monthly facility data retrospectively on total Antenatal Care (ANC) visits, institutional deliveries, major obstetric, and neonatal complications treated from January 2015 to December 2016. We compared 2015 data with that of 2016 when conflict re-started. We also conducted a descriptive qualitative study based on key informant interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to explore the health system challenges. We used a thematic approach to analyse qualitative data. Results ANC visits declined by 21% between 2015 and 2016. The proportion of expected births that occurred in facilities declined from 23.6% in 2015 to 16.7% in 2016 (p< 0.001) while the proportion of obstetric complications treated in facilities declined from 58.9% in 2015 to 43.9% in 2016 (p<0.001). The low national budget to fund the health system, evacuation of international health staff, flight of local health workers and disruption of drugs and medical supplies are the health system challenges identified. Economic barriers and perceived poor quality of care were the two main obstacles to access of health care services.

This article presents the recently created intercultural consultation at the Medical and Psychological Health Care Service (CMP) of the University Hospital la Grave at Toulouse. The approach of the intercultural consultation was elaborated in response to the increasing diversity of children and families using the service in Toulouse. It is also based on local research that indicates the difficulties service providers encounter when trying to establish a solid therapeutic alliance with families with complex migration backgrounds who accumulate different disadvantaging factors. The intercultural consultation adapts existing models of culture-sensitive consultations in child mental health care in France and Canada to the local context in Toulouse. We describe the underlying principles of the intercultural consultation work, the therapeutic and mediation techniques used, and the way the work is integrated into the global service provision of the CMP. The process is illustrated with a case study followed by a discussion of the innovations.
