It focuses on a Complex Intervention study in Uganda supporting the provision of affordable and accessible prosthetic services in a public referral hospital. The book demonstrates the impact that overwhelming dependency on overseas support has had on service development and the delivery of universal health coverage and provides an evidence base to support a change in the contribution that overseas assistance makes to health systems planning.

Professor Jonny Huck holds a Chair in Computational Geography at the University of Manchester. Laurence Kenney is Professor of Rehabilitation Technologies at the University of Salford and Academic Director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Prosthetics and Orthotics. Allan Ndawula is Project Manager for Knowledge For Change and Research Associate in Uganda. Jackson Murungi is an Orthopaedic Technologist and Research Associate with Knowledge For Change, Uganda.
