    (BMC Medical Education, 2022-10-25) Kihumuro, Raymond Bernard; Kaggwa, Mark Mohan; Kintu, Timothy Mwanje; Harms, Sheila
    University-based mental health services for medical students remain a challenge, particularly in low-income countries, due to poor service availability. Prior studies have explored the availability of mental health services in high-income countries but little is known about mental health services in countries in sub-Saharan Africa, such as Uganda. Medical students are at a higher risk of developing mental health challenges during their course of study as compared with other students. Thus, there is a need for well-structured mental health services for this group of students. The aim of this study was to explore perspectives on mental health services for medical students at a public University in Uganda.
