Interim Treatment Outcomes among Clinic-based Ambulatory Care Multißdrug Resistant Tuberculosis Patients Initiated From Mulago National Referral Hospital

Abstract

struggle for food and the grief stemming from the loss of loved ones continues. Increased food prices post-Ebola and caring for extended family members and orphaned children have amplified these challenges.Interpretation: Following the transgenerational trauma of the recent Civil War, families in Sierra Leone were forced to navigate between fear, confusion, and loss during the Ebola epidemic. Despite nationwide school closures, children continued studies via educational radio programs. Interviews reveal one community's resilience and desire to overcome the epidemic; however, grief and distress continue. Findings from this study highlight the need to tell stories of communities in order to evaluate the long-term psychological, social, and economic consequences of infectious outbreaks.
