Project completed

The Project will be directly implemented by SACI/Newlands Clinic. To increase a sustainable access to ART, Newlands Clinic will scale?up decentralised outreach services in local city health clinic. Newlands Clinic will strengthen its collaboration with the MoHCW by building on coordinating its provision of ART services for its patients with those accessing treatment from the OI/ART sites and provide continued clinical mentorship activities. The treatment and care centre at Newlands Clinic and its patients will be maintained in order to provide quality assurance back?up, to serve as a referral centre with diagnostics services and to provide access to patients needed during the clinical attachments for nurses in training. Newlands Clinic will organise and conduct training and clinical attachment and mentorship workshops in nurse?led clinical HIV management for nurses and contribute to institutional capacity strengthening to decentralise and scale?up ART initiation. Newlands Clinic will hold a sufficient number of workshops per year to train at least 100 nurses.
