This presentation discusses enabling clinical officers in Uganda to provide tubal ligations to address workforce shortages. There is a shortage of healthcare workers in Uganda, with only 1 worker per 625 people compared to the WHO recommendation of 1 per 435. Currently 62% of doctor positions are vacant. The presentation outlines the rationale for task sharing based on shortages and uneven distribution. It also describes a study that assessed complications and client satisfaction for tubal ligations performed by clinical officers, finding low complication rates and over 99% of clients rating the procedure as good or very good. The conclusions recommend allowing clinical officers to specialize in family planning services including tubal ligations or adding tubal ligations to their national curriculum.
