Districts (or national): Nampula

Through a special gift from Dr. Bing Zhao, ICAP is providing direct support to the COVID-19 response in Nampula province through the secondment of additional staff to increase the capacity of provincial and district health directorates. Through this support, ICAP has provided a COVID-19 case management coordinator to oversee case finding and contact tracing activities and two data clerks to input patient data into the national electronic database (DHIS). ICAP has purchased PPE (including gloves, masks, aprons, face visors and eye protection) to protect healthcare workers on the frontlines of the COVID response at the Nampula Isolation Center. In addition, the initiative is also supporting the development and distribution of enhanced monitoring tools and processes at the district and provincial levels—including tools for weekly reporting of key public health indicators at the district level, longitudinal registers and transfer forms to track patient clinical outcomes, patient screening documentation, and contact tracing forms.

ICAP supported the Ministry of Health to improve the implementation of HIV re-testing guidelines for HIV-negative pregnant and postpartum women at 10 health facilities in Nampula province.

This research study aims to evaluate the efficacy of efforts to retain clients in HIV care in hopes to improve rates of viral suppression among adolescents (10-19 years old) living with HIV (ALHIV). During the first two years of the project, ICAP conducted formative training of health workers and led the development of a multi-component intervention strategy, which has been piloted in two high volume health centers in Nampula City to improve outcomes among HIV-positive adolescents and young adults. As the study enters its third year (Phase 2, Years 3-5) ICAP will conduct a large-scale, randomized trial to assess the effectiveness of the multi-component intervention strategy in retaining care, adherence to ART, and viral suppression among ALHIV in two districts. This study will assess sixteen sites that provide ART care to adolescents and will enroll approximately 640 ALHIV.

Through this initiative, ICAP is renovating child health corners and adolescent-friendly service centers at three of the largest health facilities in Nampula Province: 25 de Setembro, 1 de Maio, and Muhala Expansão. The renovations at child health corners will provide children and their caregivers with an engaging, child-friendly space to play while waiting for consultations. Infrastructure interventions at centers for adolescents living with HIV will provide patients with a safe, friendly space for meeting with their peers and learning more about how to safeguard their health with information provided on HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, family planning, adherence to treatment, and other topics.
