Abstract
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 well adhered. This study explored the availability and uptake of community-based
rehabilitation and inclusive development services to children with Spina bifida in Southwestern Uganda.
