Popis: It is over a decade since services for children with Spina bifida were established in Uganda which has increased the survival rate after spina bifida repair through follow ups. Such children have significant disability and other complications which damage the central nervous system. The consequences of this are more profound in low-income countries if post-operative and long-term care interventions are not adhered to. This study explored the availability and uptake of community-based rehabilitation and inclusive development services to children with Spina bifida in Southwestern Uganda.
