Strengthening the National HIV Response

• Adult women, men, adolescents and children affected by HIV/AIDS
• Doctors and nurses
• Public and private clinics and hospitals

• Increased capacity built for OI/ART1 service delivery and task sharing through training, clinical attachment, mentorship, and rolling out components of the NC model of best practice
• Increased survival and reduced mortality of 9,000 patients receiving treatment and care at NC
• Influencing national and international policies and guidelines for the comprehensive management of people living with HIV and Aids through evidence-based research findings

Resultados previstos:  

• 9000 OI/ART patients in care by 2028
• 10 provinces supported with training and mentorship
• 5331 HCWs trained in Advanced HIV Management by 2028
• 9200 HCWs trained by 2028 in HIV related short courses and mentorship
• 850 girls immunised for HPV per year
• 3200 women screened for cervical cancer per year by 2028
• 1000 women receiving access to modern methods of family planning services
• Viability of operations strenghtened through diversification of partners/donors

Resultados de las fases anteriores:  

• 4076 Health Care Workers have been trained between 2020-2023 on HIV Management (advanced and basic courses)
• One Continued Medical Education meeting held at a provincial Hospital for the local Health Care Workers in 2022
• 7720 patients in care at the NC (2022), following a steady increase since 2016 (5776), with a very low mortality rate of 1% (70 patients)
• The NC’s Mental and Social Health Department provided counselling to 1050 referred patients
• 2286 women were screened for cervical cancer in 2022
• The enrolment of patients with complex diseases and third-line patients significantly increased the cost of comprehensive care and will likely further increase the mortality and morbidity rates
