Cardiometabolic disease CARE) is a multi-country implementation research initiative anchored in Uganda at Lira University. The project strengthens integrated care for cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) and common mental health conditions within primary health care, with a strong focus on underserved and rural populations in Northern Uganda.<\/p><p>Uganda faces a growing dual burden of hypertension, diabetes, depression, and anxiety, often managed in parallel rather than as co-existing conditions. Fragmented services, limited specialist access, and health system constraints undermine long-term outcomes. M-CARE responds by embedding evidence-based, integrated care models within routine primary health services.<\/p><p>In Uganda, M-CARE is implemented in collaboration with district health systems and national stakeholders to translate global guidelines into locally feasible practice. The project supports frontline health workers to deliver people-centred, integrated care using routine platforms such as Health Centre IIIs and IVs. M-CARE contributes directly to Uganda\u2019s commitments under the National NCD Strategy, Mental Health Policy, and Primary Health Care revitalisation agenda, while strengthening learning institutions such as Lira University as hubs of implementation science.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-800e9b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"800e9b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;expanded&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.

PROJECT Home Research M-CARE MCARE 2 MCARE 1 MCARE Mental health and Cardiometabolic disease CARE (M-CARE) M-CARE (Mental health and Cardiometabolic disease CARE) is a multi-country implementation research initiative anchored in Uganda at Lira University. The project strengthens integrated care for cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) and common mental health conditions within primary health care, with a strong focus on underserved and rural populations in Northern Uganda. Uganda faces a growing dual burden of hypertension, diabetes, depression, and anxiety, often managed in parallel rather than as co-existing conditions. Fragmented services, limited specialist access, and health system constraints undermine long-term outcomes. M-CARE responds by embedding evidence-based, integrated care models within routine primary health services. In Uganda, M-CARE is implemented in collaboration with district health systems and national stakeholders to translate global guidelines into locally feasible practice. The project supports frontline health workers to deliver people-centred, integrated care using routine platforms such as Health Centre IIIs and IVs. M-CARE contributes directly to Uganda\u2019s commitments under the National NCD Strategy, Mental Health Policy, and Primary Health Care revitalisation agenda, while strengthening learning institutions such as Lira University as hubs of implementation science. Vision A resilient Ugandan health system where mental health and cardiometabolic care are delivered together, equitably and sustainably, at the primary care level. Mission To generate policy-relevant evidence and build local capacity for integrated CMD\u2013mental health care that improves outcomes, strengthens health systems, and informs national scale-up.

This includes Identification and management of depression, anxiety, and alcohol use disorders, Task-sharing using WHO mhGAP-IG and Psychosocial support embedded within routine CMD care Health Systems Strengthening.
