Challenges
Stakeholders’ skepticism about formation of APIN
Overlapping Harvard/APIN responsibilities
Different funding cycles – anticipated gap for each year of transition
APIN’s lack of working capital
![Page 14: Harvard PEPFAR: Six Years of Implementation Mark Barnes December 17, 2009 mbarnes@hsph.harvard.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be384550346b4588b5f2a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Challenges
Drug warehouse fire- April 26, 2008 Space constraints- regulations on
construction Loss of trained personnel to other
PEPFAR partners and international NGOs
Lack of institutional support at some sites
![Page 15: Harvard PEPFAR: Six Years of Implementation Mark Barnes December 17, 2009 mbarnes@hsph.harvard.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be384550346b4588b5f2a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Urgent Need to initiate Care and Treatment in 2004
![Page 22: Harvard PEPFAR: Six Years of Implementation Mark Barnes December 17, 2009 mbarnes@hsph.harvard.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be384550346b4588b5f2a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
2004-2009 Priorities
Create more clinic space to accommodate increasing patients
Emergency staff hiring to meet increasing demand
Improve capacity of existing laboratories/establish new ones for patients monitoring
Training of service providers on HIV care
![Page 23: Harvard PEPFAR: Six Years of Implementation Mark Barnes December 17, 2009 mbarnes@hsph.harvard.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be384550346b4588b5f2a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Addressing human resource problem
Through PEPFAR funding, we engaged more than 600 local staff to work with the program
Hired about 450 more staff Provided incentives to ensure staff
retention (training, good working environment, professional recognition)
Program paid staff are now being absorbed in the government system by phases
![Page 24: Harvard PEPFAR: Six Years of Implementation Mark Barnes December 17, 2009 mbarnes@hsph.harvard.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be384550346b4588b5f2a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Training
MDH Program provided routine basic ART training according to national curriculum for the core and back up teams
1 month practical training Ongoing mentorship/preceptorship Video conferencing Later introduced other essential related
training according to needs Treatment adherence Nutrition
![Page 25: Harvard PEPFAR: Six Years of Implementation Mark Barnes December 17, 2009 mbarnes@hsph.harvard.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be384550346b4588b5f2a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Strengthening of Laboratory Component
Huge investment in renovation to create space and meet standards (10 labs)
Procurement of equipments Procurement of reagents Training in GLP Quality assurance and quality control Putting in place supply chain
management
![Page 26: Harvard PEPFAR: Six Years of Implementation Mark Barnes December 17, 2009 mbarnes@hsph.harvard.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be384550346b4588b5f2a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2009-2012 Priorities
1. System strengthening2. Quality Improvement Program3. Data management for decision making4. Transition Harvard core business to local
entity for sustainability
![Page 27: Harvard PEPFAR: Six Years of Implementation Mark Barnes December 17, 2009 mbarnes@hsph.harvard.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be384550346b4588b5f2a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Quality Improvement (QI)
Building the culture of QI: regarding quality improvement program as important as meeting targets in numbers Development of indicators Regular assessment Feedback and strategies for improvement
Focusing on all 3 domains 1. Quality of care provided2. Ease of access to service 3. Patient satisfaction
![Page 28: Harvard PEPFAR: Six Years of Implementation Mark Barnes December 17, 2009 mbarnes@hsph.harvard.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be384550346b4588b5f2a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Example: Addressing quality issues
Patients are less likely to stay in care if provided by overwhelmed health workers, at clinics far away
Innovations Size and proximity of services addressed
by scaling up and decentralization Prolonged working hours Visits scheduled by date and time block
![Page 29: Harvard PEPFAR: Six Years of Implementation Mark Barnes December 17, 2009 mbarnes@hsph.harvard.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be384550346b4588b5f2a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Task Shifting Inadequate human resources Innovations to make use of available
resources Task shifting
Nurses dispensing drugs PLWHAs providing group counselling, tracking of
missing patients Using community lay workers to promote
adherence Integration of HIV care into general health
services (ANC, TB)
![Page 30: Harvard PEPFAR: Six Years of Implementation Mark Barnes December 17, 2009 mbarnes@hsph.harvard.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be384550346b4588b5f2a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Patient retention – a major challenge
At least 20% of patients are lost to follow and are rarely traced
Patients not on ARVs are more likely to be lost to follow up
40% of lost to follow up patients are missed within their first 30 days of enrollment
Lost to follow up is often likely due to death LTFU has major public health implications
![Page 31: Harvard PEPFAR: Six Years of Implementation Mark Barnes December 17, 2009 mbarnes@hsph.harvard.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be384550346b4588b5f2a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Patient tracking
Established a close monitoring system using available resources
At every visit, nurse/counselor updates map cue (phone number, physical address)
Patients are traced through mobile phones, or/and physical home visit
Community-Based Health Workers & volunteer PLWHAs follow-up patients with missed visits abnormal lab results that need immediate attention HIV exposed infants
![Page 32: Harvard PEPFAR: Six Years of Implementation Mark Barnes December 17, 2009 mbarnes@hsph.harvard.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be384550346b4588b5f2a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Transitioning to Local Ownership
Plan is to transition the Harvard role to a local entity (MDH) by phases
During the process Harvard will continue providing TA and capacity building to the local entity
Local entity will continue to collaborate with Harvard in TA, training, research
![Page 33: Harvard PEPFAR: Six Years of Implementation Mark Barnes December 17, 2009 mbarnes@hsph.harvard.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551be384550346b4588b5f2a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
