The #WISHStudy team were in Gulu this week for a co-creation workshops. This is how the week unfolded. If research and the resulting evidence -based treatments are to reach everybody, we must ensure systematic barriers are dismantled.

It's a beautiful cool morning in Fort Portal and we are setting up for Day 2 of training delivered by the APT Sepsis champions to the rest of the department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology. It is great to see the sites take ownership of infection prevention & control.

Fantastic to be in Fort Portal with the @apt_sepsis team. Fort Portal was a control site where newly trained champions are rolling out the intervention across the site. Already there are stories of positive change as we discussed with Commissioner of Maternal & Child Health Richard Mugahi
