In conclusion, although some interventions have been put in place to manage PUD, its prevalence is still high and more interventions are required, therefore the following were the recommendations made after the study, Community sensitization on causes of PUD should be enforced at hospitals and also better diagnostic techniques should be used for early diagnosis of PUD.
