Our portfolio spans neonatal survival, obstructed labour, infection prevention, and women's health — enrolling thousands of participants across Uganda and generating evidence that reaches the world's leading journals.
Neonatal healthCo-PI · Prof. David Mukunya
A clinical trial assessing the effectiveness of emollient therapy in reducing mortality and infections, and promoting neurodevelopment, among 1,242 very low birthweight infants.
Maternal healthPI · Prof. Milton Musaba
A clinical trial assessing the effectiveness of sodium bicarbonate administration in obstructed labour for reducing maternal and neonatal morbidity.
Cohort studyPI · Prof. David Mukunya

Maternal sepsisA multi-country test accuracy study examining the role of point-of-care lactate measurement in improving the identification of maternal sepsis in resource-limited settings — supporting early detection and timely treatment.
Women's healthPI · Prof. Milton Musaba
A Wellcome Leap–funded study developing and validating predictive models to detect women at risk of heavy menstrual bleeding and iron deficiency, enabling earlier diagnosis and targeted intervention.
