  9. ART in BYO

  10. TUBERCULOSIS

  11. TUBERCULOSIS • Notification rate of TB cases in Zimbabwe: 603/ 100 000 population (2011 est.) • Bulawayo notified 2797 cases of TB in 2012 ( 500 cases in 1985!!) • TB / HIV co-infection rate: 79.5 % (2012)

  12. Many Challenges ! Some of them (in BYO):

  13. Challenges – HIV programme (1) Staff shortage: Clinics have only 60 % of nurses Only 4 doctors visiting BCC clinics The challenge of running multiple programmes at the same time: HIV/TB, non-communicable diseases, EPI, IMCI…, with few staff !! Therefore, the challenge of quality follow up in a congested OIC without adequate staff

  14. Challenges – HIV programme (2) • BUT, there is pressure for an increase of our ARVs cohorts without increasing the staff at the clinics • The difficult balance: quantity vs quality ? • One solution:  ART decentralization • Also:  Empowerment of OIC nurses

  15. Other Challenges – HIV programme • Early identification of patients in need of ART (before they get too sick!) • The challenge of TB diagnosis, PTB (-) or EPTB • Insufficient access to VL test • Follow up of patients living across the border (SA, BTW) • Data capture and entry: • Frequent changes in M & E tools. • Too many data to record and follow up. • Others…

  16. THANK YOUMERCI
