Overview narrative

Uganda has made significant progress towards providing care and support and ART to People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA). Of the estimated 1,200,000 people living with HIV/AIDS (PHA) in Uganda, the number of adults in active HIV care nationally is unknown due to gaps in reporting. By June 2009, 193,746 (60% of eligible) HIV positive clients were receiving ART nationally with adults comprising 91.5 % of recipients, and children comprising 8.5 % of recipients. An estimated 42,140 children are in urgent need of antiretroviral treatment. Over 350 service outlets are actively providing ART countrywide. The proportion of HAART eligible HIV-infected pregnant women receiving treatment is still low with only 5,263 (21%) of the estimated eligible 25,000 in the year ending June 2009.

However, the number of people in need of ART is approximately 358,000 (UNAIDS estimate using the CD4<200 cut off), implying an unmet need of more than 50%. In addition, currently, only 9% of all persons on PEPFAR supported ART are children. Based on the new guidelines, an additional 25,000 infants may require ART in the absence of better PMTCT interventions.

Of the estimated Ugandans living with HIV/AIDS about 38% (456,000) are aware of their HIV status. (Performance Report STD/ACP 2008) In order to improve access to HIV testing, Uganda has embraced various approaches including Voluntary client -initiated counseling and testing (VCT), and Provider Initiated Counseling and Testing (PICT) for example Routine Testing in clinical settings (RCT), and Family based counseling and testing. However, access to HIV counseling and testing is still low.

As part of the comprehensive HIV prevention package which includes the provision of HIV testing and Counseling, Prevention with Positives interventions, ABC interventions, and other evidence based preventive mechanism like safe Male Medical circumcision will be adopted within the national context. The Program will promote voluntary Medical Male Circumcision in the general population (currently at 25%) with a "catch-up" strategy focusing on older adolescents and sexually active adult males with the goal of reducing incidence by 40% by 2012

Challenges for providing greater coverage of services include: limited human resources, limited access to counseling and testing, incoherent measurement of HIV care and treatment outcomes, weak laboratory infrastructure and several uncoordinated logistics supply chain systems. Additional challenges arise from poor coordination of service provision resulting in several partners at health facilities. This has resulted in several supply chains, uncoordinated quantification of drugs, and gross inefficiencies in service provision and reporting.

Since 2005, KCC has been receiving support from PEPFAR to implement HIV prevention, care, treatment and support initiatives such as HIV counseling and testing, (HCT), palliative care for adults and children, antiretroviral therapy for adults and children, laboratory infrastructure strengthening, Prevention of Mother To Child Transmission (PMTCT), and OVC. The scale-up of services within KCC was supported through several implementing partners such as Mulago-Mbarara Joint AIDS Program (MJAP), Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI), Protecting Families Against AIDS (PREFA), Baylor College of Medicine Children's Foundation Uganda (Baylor-Uganda) PIDC, AIDS Information Center (AIC), and TB-CAP among others.

Some of the challenges encountered include poor coordination of the various services with duplication and overlap in reporting, and quantification of required supplies especially drugs and test kits. Linkages between the various services are weak with a number of missed opportunities and inefficiencies. There is a lack of ownership by the KCC leadership with inadequate integration of the HIV services into health existing systems with no clear sustainability, or exit plans.

Making the program more comprehensive in scope and coverage is an endeavor to address the above challenges. The program will ensure coordinated and cost efficient comprehensive service provision in support of the national health systems. The Kampala City Council (KCC) Comprehensive HIV services program will cover public and private not for profit health facilities in its five divisions of Central, Kawempe, Makindye, Rubaga, and Nakawa. Together these divisions have an estimated total population of 3,077,200 people and with a regional HIV sero-prevalence of 8.5%, about 276,948 people are expected to be HIV infected. Currently about 38% of the population know their HIV status therefore about 105,240 people may be seeking care and treatment services in this region.

Approximately 80% of this population may be already seeking care and treatment in the Kampala hospitals; leaving an HIV care burden of 20% (21,048) to the KCC clinics. The total number of health services outlets planned to have chronic care units within the KCC sub-region are about 30 comprising mainly of HC IVs and HC IIIs. The NGO hospitals found in this region will not be part of the scope of this program, being covered by other programs. The comprehensive HIV services will include care and treatment services to an existing pool of more than 10,652 clients in care and 4,020 on ART. This program will work with the district health management of KCC to ensure coordinated and cost-efficient comprehensive HIV care service provision in support of the national health systems.

The objectives of this program include but are not limited to:

1. Supporting the provision of comprehensive HIV care and treatment with increase in coverage and scope of existing HIV/AIDS services for PHAs and their families. Services include HIV Counseling and testing, adult and pediatric basic palliative care and support, PMTCT, ART, TB/HIV. The program will also focus on strengthening linkages between HIV prevention, care, treatment and support services in response to existing gaps and minimize overlaps and duplication of services and reporting.

2. Secondly, the program will support Health Systems Strengthening efforts to promote effective integration of HIV/AIDS services at facilities and surrounding communities. Areas to be supported shall include monitoring and evaluation (M&E), laboratory, infrastructure /space, staff capacity in terms of training and routine supportive supervision, and procurement of logistics and commodity supplies to enhance the delivery of comprehensive HIV/AIDS services. The program will work with the District Health Office to support recruitment of additional staff where applicable, using the Government of Uganda public service salary scales. This will ensure sustainability of this program and avoid parallel service systems, with eventual absorption of such staff onto the government payroll.

3. The third objective is to strengthen program monitoring and evaluation through support of health facilities to utilize the national Health Management Information System (HMIS) to produce timely reports, and ensure these reports are channeled along the Government of Uganda information flow system; aligned with goals and outcomes of CDC/Global AIDS Program and PEPFAR and use HIV/AIDS service data for ongoing improvement of program performance.

In all these activities the program will work in close collaboration with the MOH, district health management, and other providers to ensure improved coordination and leveraging of available resources.

Adult Care and support

Kampala City Council (KCC) has an estimated population of 3.1 million, and an HIV prevalence of 8.5% in the five divisions of Kawempe, Makindye, Rubaga, Nakawa, and Kampala Central. With a regional HIV sero-prevalence of 8.5%, about 276,948 people are expected to be HIV infected. Currently about 38% of the population know their HIV status therefore about 105,240 people may be seeking care and treatment services in this region.

This program will support health facilities within Kampala City Council (KCC) to implement a comprehensive adult HIV care and treatment services program including provision of basic care and support package for all clients, OI prophylaxis, diagnosis and treatment, TB screening and treatment, routine assessment for ART eligibility and prevention with positives interventions.

Clients eligible for ART will receive treatment through this program as per national guidelines or be referred to existing clinics. The program will implement strategies to promote adherence to cotrimoxazole and use of the basic care package to delay progression to AIDS and the need for ART. Care and treatment services within KCC will be provided to an existing pool of 10,000 clients in active care and about 4,000 of whom are currently on ART. Services will also be scaled up to other facilities and eligible clients.

HIV Counseling and Testing (HCT)

Kampala City Council (KCC) has an estimated population of 3.1 million, and an HIV prevalence of 8.5%. KCC comprises of five divisions of Kawempe, Makindye, Rubaga, Nakawa, and Kampala Central. There are several health facilities under the municipal council both private and public. An estimated 50% of the population is aged 15 years and below.

The program will work with health facilities to offer PITC in all units including OPD and inpatient wards, Couple testing, Early Infant Diagnosis for all HIV exposed infants, and HCT for household members of index clients (through selective home based programs, health visitors, or outreach programs). The program will establish quality assurance mechanisms for both HIV counseling and testing at all levels of care in line with Ministry of Health guidelines.

This program will focus on the following activities;

1. Expand access to HIV counseling and testing through a variety of collaborative facility and community testing and counseling services

2. Provide couple counseling and testing, and ensure that persons testing HIV positive and discordant couples are provided with support and care, and facilitated disclosure

3. Number of people living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs) reached with a minimum package of prevention with positives (PWP) interventions

4. The number of clients and family members receiving counseling and testing

Pediatric care and support

Of the estimated Kampala population of 3.1 million, about 50% of the population is aged 15 years and below. Currently about 2,000 children below 17 years are accessing care through the existing 8 KCC HIV programs and about 600 children are receiving ART

Some of the challenges specific to the provision of pediatric care, treatment, and support include limited access to services especially in the sub-urban areas, delays in diagnosis of HIV, limited health provider skills, inadequate commodity supplies for pediatric care and treatment, data gaps on the burden of pediatric HIV nationally, continued mother to child transmission of HIV estimated at 15%, inadequate sexual and reproductive health services for HIV infected adolescents, poor linkages between pediatric care and other programs like PMTCT, OVC, and EID. There is also lack of nutritional support, and inadequate community awareness, mobilization and support.

This program will support health facilities within Kampala City Council (KCC) to implement a comprehensive pediatric HIV care and treatment services program including, timely HIV diagnosis among children, provision of basic care and support package for all clients, OI prophylaxis, diagnosis and treatment, TB screening and treatment, routine assessment for ART eligibility.

This program will continue to support identification of children and linking them into care from the MCH, OPD and pediatric departments. Integration of these services will be a core focus area for this program with the aim of increasing the number of children in care to about 15 percent of the total in care. The program will endeavor to create child friendly clinics at the health facilities and also address the special adolescent sexual and reproductive health needs through a program focusing on this age group. Providers will receive pediatric HIV counseling skills training to have at least one pediatric counselor at all the supported health facilities. A family centered approach to managing pediatric patients will be implemented to provide support for this particularly vulnerable group, enhance adherence and reduce loss to follow up.

Major activities for this program will include:

1. Increasing access to pediatric HIV care, and support at facilities, and within communities to HIV-infected persons clients in accordance with National guidelines

2. Training health care providers to deliver HIV-related services

3. Supporting the health systems for HIV care and treatment services delivery and strengthening linkages between pediatric care and the various care programs such as PMTCT, ART, OVC, Early Infant Diagnosis

4. Integrating HIV prevention initiatives within HIV care and treatment with a focus on adolescent sexuality issues

5. The program will strengthen the logistics and commodity supplies system through harmonized procurement of HIV commodities

6. Strengthening data management

Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with the following performance goals for PEPFAR;

Number of facilities that offer pediatric HIV care and support

Number of health care providers trained in facility and/or community HIV care

Number of children with advanced HIV infection in care / on ART disaggregated by age and sex

Pediatric treatment:

In Uganda, an estimated 42,140 children are in urgent need of antiretroviral treatment. Without ART, 50% of HIV infected infants will die before their second birthday and 75% before their fifth birthday (UNAIDS, 2005). By June 2009, approximately 16,495 children (39% of eligible) were on ART representing 8.5% of the national total of 193, 746 with a male to female ratio of 1:1.

Only a few of the health facilities under the municipal council both private and public provide pediatric care and treatment. The KCC HIV program currently provides HIV care for about 2000 children below 17 years with about 600 accessing HAART.

Some of the challenges specific to the provision of pediatric care, treatment, and support include limited access to services especially in the sub-urban areas, delays in diagnosis of HIV, limited health provider skills, inadequate commodity supplies for pediatric care and treatment, data gaps on the burden of pediatric HIV nationally, continued mother to child transmission of HIV estimated at 15%, addressing sexual and reproductive health needs of HIV infected adolescents, poor linkages between pediatric care and other programs like PMTCT, OVC, and EID. There is also lack of nutritional support, and inadequate community awareness, mobilization and support.

This program will support health facilities within Kampala City Council (KCC) to implement a comprehensive adult HIV care and treatment services program including provision of basic care and support package for all clients, OI prophylaxis, diagnosis and treatment, TB screening and treatment, routine assessment for ART eligibility.

The program will provide support to the existing pool of about 600 pediatric patients with antiretroviral treatment (ART) services like CD4 monitoring and out source viral load (VL) services for those that will require VL measurements. Care providers will be trained to support children on ART at all the sites to enhance adherence. The program will disseminate pediatric treatment guidelines to all implementing facilities and provide mentorship and refresher training for staff in pediatric ART in collaboration with other partners. Peer support networks for children on HAART will be supported to reduce stigma and enhance adherence. ARV for pediatric will continue to flow through the MOH and Global fund mechanism.

Major activities for this program will include:

1. Increasing access to pediatric HIV care, and support at facilities, and within communities to HIV-infected persons clients in accordance with National guidelines

2. Training health care providers to deliver HIV-related services

3. Supporting the health systems for HIV care and treatment services delivery and strengthening linkages between pediatric care and the various care programs such as PMTCT, ART, OVC, Early Infant Diagnosis

TBD- Kampala City Council (KCC) Comprehensive HIV services program will cover public and private not for profit health facilities in five divisions of Central, Kawempe, Makindye, Rubaga, and Nakawa. Together these divisions have an estimated total population of 3,077,200 people and with a regional HIV sero-prevalence of 8.5%. About 49% of this population is males of whom 15% are adult males. In Uganda the proportion of adult men that are circumcised is estimated at only 25%. The National Strategic Plan for HIV/AIDS has set a target to increase the proportion of circumcised adult males to 50% by 2011/12 and contribute to national goal of reducing the incidence rate by 40% by 2012.

TBD-Comprehensive HIV/AIDS program will implement MMC activities as part of the comprehensive HIV prevention package which includes the provision of HIV testing and Counseling, Prevention with Positives interventions, BCC, partner reduction and other evidence based preventive interventions according to national and international guidelines. The Program will promote voluntary Medical Male Circumcision in the general population with a "catch-up" strategy focusing on older adolescents and HIV negative sexually active adult males.

Abstinence and Be Faithful (AB)

Kampala City Council (KCC) has an estimated population of 3.1 million and 50% of this population is aged 15 years and below. The abstinence and Be faithful (AB) will be coordinated by the KCC District Health Office and implemented in collaboration with the divisional health office and health Centers. The program will specifically focus preventing HIV among out of school youth and adult in the general population especially the large pool of patients and care takers visiting the health centers and their caretakers, health facility staff including causal laborers and their family members, and communities in the surrounding communities. Through this support, AB activities will be integrated in the comprehensive HIV prevention plans for the district and technical assistance will be provided to design and implement targeted BBC messages for the various interest groups including; boda boda riders, discordant couples, family members of patients in care, staff and their family members. In addition, the program wills linkages and referral to other technical areas to ensure integration and delivery of comprehensive prevention, care and treatment services. Monitoring and evaluation of program activities will be supported by strengthening existing structures

Other Prevention

Kampala City Council (KCC) has an estimated population of 3.1 million and 50% of this population is aged 15 years and below. The Other Sexual Prevention (OP) program will focus on providing IEC for basic preventive care to; people living with HIV including discordant couples, high risk groups, care takers of patients, health facility staff and the family members, and the general population in the surrounding communities. The program will promote knowledge of family planning including condom use, STI prevention and management in the general population and strengthen integration of sexual reproductive services in the prevention, care and treatment services for people living with HIV/AIDS. In addition, the program will support divisional health offices to establish functional post test clubs and discordant couples in their respective area. The program will leverage resources from other technical areas to offer comprehensive and integrated HIV prevention, care and treatment services. Technical assistance will be extended to the KCC and its division offices to strengthen programming, monitoring and evaluation HIV/AIDS activities through existing structures..

Laboratory Infrastructure

The program will focus on scaling up and strengthening laboratory activities that support HIV services' delivery in accordance with the Uganda national laboratory policies and guidelines. The scope of the laboratory support will address services such as HIV testing for infants, adults and children, diagnosis of opportunistic and other common infections, assessment for antiretroviral therapy eligibility for clients in active HIV care, and monitoring of response to treatment for clients on ART. Some of the program areas that require specific laboratory support include HIV counseling and testing (HCT), Prevention of Mother To Child Transmission (PMTCT), Biomedical HIV prevention, Adult Care and Support, Pediatric Care and Support, Adult treatment, and Pediatric Treatment. The program will strengthen linkages between the laboratory and the various services.

The existing clinics in Kampala City council (KCC) have some laboratory capacity that will need to be supported with staff or kits for HIV/AIDS diagnosis and monitoring. The program will work with other laboratory stakeholders through the district laboratory focal persons to improve laboratory functions at the facilities. The aim will be to have laboratories performing the expected range of diagnostics tests for their level to support service delivery.

The major activities to be supported will focus on but not be limited to;

1. Developing and strengthening laboratory facilities in accordance with MOH laboratory strategic policies and plan to support HIV/AIDS-related activities including the purchase of equipment through competitive procurement

2. Provision of quality assurance, staff training and other technical assistance

3. Supporting policies based on national and international best practices, training, waste-management systems, advocacy and other activities to promote medical injection safety, including establishing a distribution/supply chain, and the safe and appropriate disposal of injection equipment and other related equipment and supplies.

Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with the following performance goals for PEPFAR;

1. Number of testing facilities (laboratories) with capacity to perform clinical laboratory tests as specified in MOH guidelines

2. Number of testing facilities (laboratories) that are accredited according to national or international standards

ARV drugs

This program will procure ARV drugs for an existing pool of at least 4,000 clients currently on treatment at the 8 facilities in Kampala City Council. The program will also support facilities to improve their logistics management capacity to draw down on the National credit line. Activities shall include support to the quantification of ARV drug need, procurement, and storage, dispensing, plus reporting. Working closely with the MOH, the program will help standardize ARV regimens and formulations used at ART sites and harmonize these with the national treatment guidelines.

TB/HIV

TB remains a major challenge in Uganda contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. The estimated TB incidence of all forms of TB is 330 new cases per 100,000 pop/ year with an incidence of 128 new cases per 100,000 pop /year among HIV positive persons. Over 39% of all incident TB cases are HIV positive. Prevalence of all forms of TB is 426 cases per 100,000 population. Mortality is 93 deaths per 100,000 pop /year. The estimated Multidrug resistant -TB (MDR-TB) rate among all new TB cases is 0.5%. (Global Tuberculosis control WHO report 2009). The Uganda TB control indicators remain below target despite implementation of DOTS throughout the country. Treatment success rate is 74% against a target of 85% due to high proportion of patients who either die, default or whose treatment outcome is not evaluated. The TB Case Detection Rate is 57% versus the target of 70%.

This program will promote integration of TB and HIV through the following activities:

1. Provide intensified case finding among clients in HIV care and treatment ensuring 100% of them are screened for TB;

2. Institute TB Infection Control measures in health facilities;

3. Support provider-initiated counseling and testing in TB clinics and wards;

4. Enhance cross referral and linkages between HIV and TB clinics;

5. Strengthen HIV Care and treatment for TB patients through provision of OI prophylaxis such as cotrimoxazole, regular assessment for ART eligibility, and provision of ART for those eligible according to national treatment guidelines;

6. Promote directly observed treatment (DOTS) for TB HIV co- infected patients.

The program will provide TB screening for HIV positive clients in care and treatment at each visit; offer HIV Counseling and testing to all TB patients, and those found to be HIV positive will be linked to HIV care and treatment. TB treatment and follow up using the DOTS strategy will be supported with sub county health workers facilitated to conduct support supervision to TB treatment supporters.

Health facility staff will be trained in TB Infection control, and facilitated to conduct risk assessment of health facilities, develop and implement TB infection control measures such as promoting natural ventilation in waiting and examination rooms. Health workers will be trained in HIV/TB co-management. Innovative approaches such as co-location of TB and HIV services will be applied.

Laboratory capacity for TB diagnosis will be built through training of laboratory technicians in TB sputum microscopy and equipping of laboratories. All supported labs will participate in the National External Quality Assurance for sputum microscopy. Staff in supported Health facilities will be supported in data management and analysis using the existing Ministry of Health (MOH) tools.

Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with the following performance goals for PEPFAR

Number of service outlets providing treatment for TB to HIV-infected individuals in a palliative care setting

Percent of TB patients who had an HIV test result recorded in the TB register

Percent of HIV-positive patients who were screened for TB in HIV care or treatment settings

Percent of HIV positive patients in HIV care or treatment (pre-ART or ART) who started TB treatment
