Data were gathered from interviews conducted with a sample of 80 women aged between 15 and 55 years from two communities in central Uganda. The results reveal that the two most frequently reported problems were sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis, and abdominal pain. Other reported problems include malaria, headache, respiratory health problems, uterus/cervical and breast problems, and physical abuse. The participants made numerous recommendations in relation to addressing their health problems, such as health education, family planning education, confidential family planning services, free health care centers for rural women, more training for Community Health Workers, more community outreach, women's clinics at the health care centers, better training of traditional Birth Attendants, and the provision of confidential family planning services for women who are restricted by their husbands from seeking help. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
