Abstract
Introduction: living conditions in refugee settings present a favourable environment for eruption of infectious disease outbreaks. At the end of April 2015, the Uganda Ministry of Health was alerted of an influx of refugees from Burundi into Uganda. Nakivale Refugee Settlement has been in existence since 1959 and had a population of 72,000 refugees of various nationalities by the time of this influx. We assessed the refugee settlement to detect potential public health risks among refugees and identify health service delivery gaps.
