Introduction: Ceftriaxone is a third generation cephalosporin recommended as first line treatment option for a number of diseases in Uganda. However, the National Drug Authority has in the recent past received complaints of suspected treatment failure from clinicians who use different brands of ceftriaxone in Uganda. The main aim of the study was to document the treatment outcome following use of ceftriaxone and evaluating the use of ceftriaxone against the current treatment guidelines in Uganda. Methods: A descriptive observational, non-intervention study design to document treatment outcomes after administration of Ceftriaxone injection in hospitalized patients was undertaken in Mubende. A total of 100 hospitalized patients treated with ceftriaxone were enrolled. Results: Overall, Ceftriaxone was used to treat pneumonia in the paediatric ward, presumptive therapy for infection following caesarean section (n=47) and PID in the post-natal ward, while on surgical and medical wards, Ceftriaxone was used to manage upper respiratory infection, bacterial infections and meningitis. There were no Adverse Events reported to have occurred during treatment with ceftriaxone. Of the patients treated with ceftriaxone 18% completed their doses and had regular administration. Majority 60% of

Aims: To assess the duration of leaking urine and patient perceived reasons for delay to seek repair among genitourinary fistula mothers who presented in fistula camps from June-2017 to July-2018 at Mubende and Hoima fistula treatment centers. Methods: This was a retrospective study in which qualitative and quantitative data was collected from standardized patient records of patient chats and registers filled by fistula surgeons. Results: We had a total of 125 mothers from 19 districts and of age between 16 to 72 years with genital urinary fistula operated. The majority (47.4%) of the clients were 25 years or less, of low parity with 41% (para 1+0) and without formal employment. Only 59.5% of the clients presented within one year from the time they developed the fistula. Perception was that fistulas are only treated during camps; ill health results from difficult labour; and lack of awareness that the bladder can be repaired. Conclusions: With the low turn up of mothers seeking repair, there is need to reduce leaking time and lessen suffering of obstetric fistula patients by creating more awareness, promoting routine repairs and continued financial support to care for fistula clients.
