The rollout of antiretroviral drugs in sub-Saharan Africa to address the huge health impact of the HIV pandemic has been one of the largest projects undertaken in medical history and is an unprecedented medical success story. However, the path has been and still is characterized by many far reaching implementational challenges. Here, we report on the building and maintaining of a role model clinic in Ifakara, rural Southwestern Tanzania, within a collaborative project to support HIV services within the national program, training for staff and integrated research to better understand local needs and improve patients' outcomes.
在撒哈拉以南非洲地区推广抗逆转录病毒药物以应对艾滋病大流行对健康造成的巨大影响,这是医学史上开展的最大规模项目之一,也是一个前所未有的医学成功案例。然而,这一过程过去一直且现在仍然面临着许多影响深远的实施挑战。在此,我们报告在坦桑尼亚西南部农村的伊法卡拉建立并维持一家模范诊所的情况,该诊所是一个合作项目的一部分,该项目旨在支持国家项目中的艾滋病服务、开展员工培训以及进行综合研究,以更好地了解当地需求并改善患者治疗效果。
