Regional Health Integration to Enhance Services in Eastern Uganda (RHITES-E)

Overall, the Regional Health Integration to Enhance Services in Eastern Uganda (RHITES-E) project aims to ensure that: • the malaria positivity rate declines to seven percent by 2020 in accordance with the National Malaria Reduction Strategic Plan’s target • all 25 districts are adhering to the test, treat and track principle, meaning that all fever patients are tested, and that all positive cases are treated and registered in national databases • all facilities providing antenatal care (ANC) services are following World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (i.e. women receive at least three doses of sulfadoxinepyrimethamine from the second trimester of pregnancy) • the distribution of long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) to pregnant women during their first ANC visit increases from 17 percent in 2017 to 84 percent in 2022 in accordance with national ANC targets • health facilities are feeding high quality malaria data into the District Health Information System 2, which is being used to optimise strategies and interventions.
