| dc.description.abstract | Emerging infectious diseases like the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) pose significant global public health threats. Uganda has experienced multiple EVD outbreaks, the latest occurring in 2022. Frontline healthcare workers (HCWs) are at increased risk, yet there is insufficient evidence of existing knowledge of EVD of these HCWs. We aimed to assess the readiness of Uganda’s emergency HCWs to manage EVD and identify their training needs to inform targeted capacity-building interventions for future outbreaks. | |
