Maternal Health, HIV, and AIDS: Examining Research Through a Programmatic Lens
Uganda began to implement Option B+ in September of 2012. Some of the supply chain innovations included: a single warehouse for ART and PMTCT, order forms and master lists creation, initial stock-out for two-months of ARV medicines, and the creation of a web-based system for ordering ART. Additionally, several innovations to improve health worker training, mentorship, accreditation, and involvement in the community and people living with HIV. A new monitoring and evaluation system with online and SMS capabilities was implemented. Knowledge gaps include more effective models of care and integration of PMTCT and ARV, stigma and disclosure, and human resource needs.
