Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Public Health Policy
  • Health Systems Strengthening

Background:

  • Antiretroviral therapy (ART) requires innovative healthcare delivery models for equitable access, particularly for impoverished populations.
  • Community-based care models offer a solution by integrating services from homes to health centers, reducing barriers to HIV treatment.
  • Effective ART delivery necessitates decentralization and long-term patient retention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review literature on community-based ART programs in low- and middle-income countries.
  • To analyze the evolution and effectiveness of Partners In Health (PIH) community-based HIV care programs.
  • To demonstrate how ART platforms can strengthen health systems and address broader disease burdens.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of community-based ART programs.
  • Case study analysis of Partners In Health (PIH) programs in Haiti and sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Russia, and Kazakhstan.
  • Examination of PIH's accompaniment model utilizing community health workers.

Main Results:

  • Community-based ART programs achieve effective delivery through decentralization and patient retention.
  • PIH's accompaniment model successfully integrates medicine delivery, social support, and clinic linkage.
  • PIH's HIV care platforms have strengthened health systems and addressed multiple diseases.

Conclusions:

  • Community-based care is a viable model for equitable ART delivery, especially for vulnerable populations.
  • The PIH accompaniment model demonstrates success in decentralization and patient retention for HIV care.
  • Leveraging ART delivery platforms can lead to comprehensive health system strengthening and disease management.
