Stella Zawedde-muyanja - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Stella Zawedde-Muyanja is affiliated with The Infectious Diseases Institute, College of Health Sciences, Makerere University, located in Kampala, Uganda. Her work primarily focuses on infectious diseases, with a special emphasis on tuberculosis management and prevention strategies within Uganda. Her contributions are significant in developing patient-centered and community-based models for managing multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, highlighting her commitment to improving public health outcomes in resource-limited settings.

Research Contributions

Stella Zawedde-Muyanja has made substantial contributions to the field of infectious diseases, particularly in tuberculosis research. Her work includes the development of innovative models for managing multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, assessing risk factors for mortality among affected patients, and implementing decentralized programs for tuberculosis detection and prevention in children. Her research often employs mixed methods studies and discrete choice experiments to create effective and sustainable healthcare interventions. She is actively involved in identifying factors associated with pretreatment loss to follow-up, which is crucial for improving patient retention and reducing TB-associated mortality.

Aliases
