The National AIDS and STI Control Program, with support from the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, TB, and Malaria, seeks to strengthen quality and efficiency of care for Persons Living with HIV AIDS in Kenya. NASCOP aims to ensure that 90% of the population knows their HIV status, 90% of HIV+ on treatment, and 90% of those on treatment are virally suppressed. To do this, NASCOP is making strides towards improving the quality and efficiency of service delivery for HIV testing, treatment and patient retention by promoting differentiated care delivery tailored to patients’ needs. Using the Collaborative Quality Improvement approach, innovations developed from one facility will be shared with others seamlessly.
