TB specialist/Public Health Specialist

[Makerere University School of Public Health @MakSPH]

Yesterday, @Makerere University School of Public Health successfully concluded a five-day specialized short course on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), focused on their application in tuberculosis (TB) research. Held from June 23–27, 2025, in Kololo, the course brought together graduate students, researchers, and junior- to mid-level faculty working in TB and digital health technologies.

The training was organized by the School of Public Health through its Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, in collaboration with the University of Georgia (@universityofga) supported by @NIH, under the ALLSTAR Training Program. Co-led by Assoc. Prof. @KiwanukaNoah from MakSPH and Assoc. Prof. Juliet N. Sekandi (@JulietSekandi) from the University of Georgia, the course aimed to equip participants with both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills in applying digital technologies to health research.

🎉Patane Shilabye (#SouthAfrica) & Clark Joshua Brianwong (#Uganda)🎉are the winners of the Joep Lange & Charles Boucher Awards for the highest-scoring abstracts by early-career African scientists!

Selected from more than 1,700 abstracts, Patane and Clark presented their abstracts at the 19th INTEREST conference:
🔹“Pulse Wave Velocity as Cardiovascular Disease Risk Predictor in People Living with HIV”
🔹“Leveraging eCBSS Data for Geospatial Mapping of Hotspots and Optimizing the Integrated TB Case Finding (CAST+) Intervention in Eastern Uganda”

After their presentations and responses to questions during the discussion period were rated, Clark and Patane came out tops. Congratulations!

We are at #INTEREST2025, Africa’s premier HIV science conference taking place from 13–16 May in Windhoek, Namibia.

Our staff, Clark Joshua Brianwong, shared about how we are leveraging electronic case-based surveillance system (eCBSS) data for geospatial mapping of TB hotspots in Eastern Uganda - a game-changing approach to optimizing the @MinofHealthUG CAST+ (Community Awareness, Screening, Testing, and Treatment) intervention.

Baylor Foundation Uganda is proud to participate in the #TBConference2024 under the theme “Advancing Multisectoral and Multistakeholder Engagement and Accountability to End TB and Achieve Zero Leprosy in Uganda.” We are committed to integrating resources to enhance TB screening and treatment outcomes across all activities. 💪 #EndTB

Keynote speaker Dr. @TerezaKasaeva , Director of @WHO Global TB Programme, inspired us all! 🎉 We're thrilled to announce that 4 districts supported by our @USAID LPHS-E project—Bulambuli, Butebo, Kween, and Pallisa—ranked among the top 10 best-performing districts nationally in #TB indicators. Kudos to local health teams and @MinofHealthUG for driving innovation! 🙌

The Electronic Case-Based Surveillance System (eCBSS). This real-time tool has transformed TB case tracking in these districts, ensuring better data recording, monitoring and reporting. Together, we are strengthening health systems for lasting impact in Uganda. 🌟 #HealthInnovation
