Research
- Dr Mary Margaret Ajiko, is a general surgeon with interest in paediatric
surgery. The PhD projects are related to epidemiology of paediatric surgical
conditions and to what extent the need for surgical procedures is meet in
Uganda. Further on, a qualitative study investigates perceptions of and
barriers to surgical care among caregivers. Finally, a prospective cohort
study will investigate outcome after paediatric surgery and test one or two
interventions to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality postoperatively.
Combined, the paediatric surgery research will provide evidence that can be
used to increase and improve paediatric surgical services in Uganda and other
countries facing similar challenges.
