  1. Overview Burkina--- ART • Population: 11 millions • Prevalence: 6.6% (surveillance data) • Estimate of 650,000 PLWHA • 300 peoples with red cross • 2000 people to be on ART by end of 2003 • Today 675 people under ART but estimate of 1,000 people if we add parallel systems not tracked by MOH • CNLS under President • Coordination interministeriel under MOH: coordination, prevention, care, support and treatment, surveillance • Fees for ARV = 15,000 CFA = $30.00 per month per patient • Some NGOs/associations provides ART free

  2. Overview Burkina: Issues • National guideline for ART developed based on WHO recommendations • HIV/AIDS is not included in med school course • To date: 100 providers trained on ART • Need for equipment – CD4 count, Elisa • VCT basically implemented by NGOs • Care and support information collected: • Patient monitoring – paper based • National HIV/AIDS M&E being finalized • Software development on-going • Brand and generic are used in Burkina • Planned to increase number of trained but need to assess

  3. Overview Rwanda--- ART • Population: 7.4 millions • Prevalence: 9% (UNAIDS 2001) and 13% (Surveillance) but prevalence has tendency to increase in rural area because of war and genocide • 365 health centers • 400 MDs and half of them do administrative functions • M&E is based on classical HMIS from peripheral health centers to central level but no data focused on HIV/AIDS • Private sector and religious associations are involved in ART provision • 1,000 patients under ART Kigali where 900 patients • Guideline available but not M&E tools to support the guideline • Funds from WB, MAP, Global Funds • Lack of trained staff– 18 MDs trained on Care and support, ART • Generic and brand name are used in Rwanda • No national M&E plan for HIV/AIDS

  4. Issues and Steps for Burkina and Rwanda • Situation analysis and assessment • Assessment tools exist but sound s very complicated and long: ex of FHI assessment tool adapted to Burkina • Need to develop and simplified tools for rapid situation and assessment • Implement situation analysis and assessment with involvement of site stakeholders, providers and community • Use results to design program • Guidelines and protocols in draft forms and need to be finalized and disseminated • Based on need assessment for training, train staff to adhere to guidelines and protocols

  5. Issues and Steps for Burkina and Rwanda • Develop national treatment framework for care and support and define tools for ARVs introduction • Technologies • Select and adapt a kind of standardized software for data management • Burundi is using Fuchiar and Burkina another from Esther • Not all data has to be computerized • Software has to be integrated taking into account those under ARVs and those who are not • Other technology: smart cards, finger print… could be used patient monitoring but should be adapted, evaluated and readapted

  6. Issues and Steps for Burkina and Rwanda • Quality of service assessment • Use existing tools such PI6 and PI7 assessment tools and adapt them to include HIV/AIDS components instead of “reinventing the wheel” • Patient monitoring • Should be developed taking into account that the ART should be decentralized • Research on adherence: tested alternatives and documents and see which one works better • Design a patient monitoring that takes into account patient mobility and linkage between health centers • Community involvement: maybe “accompagnateur”

  7. Issues and Steps for Burkina and Rwanda • Reporting system • Format • Frequency • Should avoid overburden on service providers and should piggyback on existing reporting and existing HMIS • Feedback to service providers • Evaluation • Need for self-assessment tools • Need for independent evaluation at least every 2 years • Burkina is planning to evaluate the process of introducing ARV including health providers burden, behavior change and socio-economic impact

  8. Issues and Steps for Burkina and RwandaResearch • OR and long term research • Process evaluation should be done at least every year • Supplies • Staffing • Equipment • Supervision system • What is the clinical efficacy of the treatment? • What is the impact of the ART on stigma reduction at the level of the households, community, patients and families? • Evaluation of resistance at least every two years • Evaluate non-medical such nutrition and psychology needs for the patients • What is the socio-economic benefits of ART on patients, households and health centers?
