Champion training for active prevention and treatment of sepsis program APT-Sepsis. Day 3 lead by Tabitha of our hub team - an exciting day, as our new champions lead sessions and develop skills for supporting their own hospitals to improve care. Infectious Diseases Institute, Makerere University Ministry of Health- Uganda

Having champions discuss with the acting commissioner enables all to see Ministry of Health- Uganda commitment to reducing maternal deaths due to sepsis and the need for each us to advocate for simple things done well. 'Vital signs are vital!' a simple but important message to share.

As we hold our champions training, Adelline, who will be assessing the barriers and enablers of the APT-Sepsis study has been working with others to identify how best to use language to best communicate with study participants, empowering the communities we work with.

Mbale Champions develop their implementation plan to support improving outcomes for pregnant women in Mbale region & how together with Ministry of Health- Uganda & Infectious Diseases Institute, Makerere University we can reduce maternal mortality from sepsis. Looking forward seeing the changes in Mbale with the APT-Sepsis team

Great to see how different types of schooling work for different families. Exploring and learning by questioning, is an amazing way of finding out about the world around you. Opportunities to explore nature and see geography coming alive is a wonderful thing.

Delighted to join Kenneth Mugabe and colleagues at Mbale Regional Referral Hospital in #EasternUganda, as the APT-Sepsis site trainings start. Working to lower maternal mortality with Ministry of Health- Uganda & Infectious Diseases Institute, Makerere University. Working to identify how best to #sustainchange in hospitals?

That would be amazing. Look forward to seeing the data.

From caregivers to leaders, may we champion their strength and resilience. Because when women thrive in health, so does our global well-being. #InvestInWomen #InspireInclusion

Great to be with the APT-Sepsis team supporting early identification & treatment of maternal sepsis. Working in a country where 17 women a day die giving birth & in the month afterwards, I'm always reminded how valuable a high quality health service, free at the point of use is.

Hi Sarah Clarke on 26/01 you stated 'a survey will be commissioned, with the results published at the EGM. Results NOT conclusions - please ensure these results are shared. My neutral for 1 question was NOT a positive, so please ensure it isn't wrongly ascribed Trisha Greenhalgh

Hey Tracy Ahumuza small world, that's where Catriona Waitt donated 14L of breastmilk in 2012! Great to see how you and Kathy Burgoine have sought to build resource to save premature lives here in Uganda through breastmilk donation.

As we conclude #championsTraining it's great to meet Ministry of Health- Uganda midwife TheUgandanMidwifeDiary🇺🇬, welcome to the APT-Sepsis team as we continue partnering with Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Programme & Infectious Diseases Institute, Makerere University. To our APT-Sepsis Maternal Health Champions welcome. Looking forward to partnering with you

Great to see Catriona Waitt receiving the Dolores Shockley Diversity & Inclusion in Clinical Research Award #ASCPT2024. for work building evidence for the medication we use in pregnant & breastfeeding mothers. Looking forward to better evidence to use in SAM Online.

As we finish our final APT-Sepsis #MaternalHealthChampions training lead by Peace Okwaro, the support from Ministry of Health- Uganda has been excellent, lwasa joel & others share insights from both midwifery & O&G, as we seek to reduce #MaternalSepsis with Infectious Diseases Institute, Makerere University Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Programme

#MaternalSepsisWeek: too many women die or are left with complications after sepsis. Simple interventions make a difference. Raising awareness matters. Work such as the APT-Sepsis trial and #MILK Wellcome project aim to improve active prevention & treatment #AtTheEquatorUG

So important not just to vote but to discuss with children and highlight the right and responsiblity this is (2 new voters in 3 years time!) . I am very disappointed sent out so late by #LiverpoolCouncil

Delighted that Catriona Waitt today celebrates her silver wedding anniversary, and can still look as young and beautiful as ever, in her timeless wedding dress. Here's to the next 25 years!

Prof Catriona Waitt introduces the training session to improve storytelling and filming training Infectious Diseases Institute, Makerere University. How can we better share the successes at challenges of our projects with funders, participants, government# Ministry of Health- Uganda and the communities we work with?

Waiting for Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus & #WHO decision around #Mpox it's crucial we treat this outbreak with the same concern given worldwide in 2022. Currently within Africa but increasing cases means it will continue to spread. Let's ensure equity in our response. Dr. Nahid Bhadelia Krutika Kuppalli, MD FIDSA
