Titel dissertatie: Re-thinking Community Health Work in Rural Areas: Lessons from Existing Informal Helping Frameworks in Uganda. In de afgelopen vijfentwintig jaar is de volksgezondheid in Uganda sterk verbeterd, onder meer als gevolg van politieke stabiliteit. Een belangrijke interventie in de afgelopen twintig jaar was het inzetten van vrijwilligers in de gemeenschap, bekend als village health-teams (VHTs), om een decentraal zorgstelsel te ontwikkelen en zo de afstand tussen gemeenschap en zorgfaciliteit te verkleinen.
