    DEFINITION
    Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): An

    PREVALENCE IN UGANDA/AFRICA
    General Prevalence:PID is a major health issue in
    Uganda and Africa, influenced by high rates of STIs
    and limited healthcare access.
    Statistics: Uganda:Approximately 10-15% of women
    may experience PID at some point. High rates of
    chlamydia and gonorrhea contribute significantly.
    Sub-Saharan Africa:Estimates suggest that PID affects
    10-20% of women of reproductive age, with varying
    prevalence based on regional STI rates.
