Angola
Angola is working to strengthen its national health infrastructure to address pressing challenges in the areas of HIV, tuberculosis, and sexual and reproductive health. ICAP is working at the facility level to strengthen HIV testing, care, and treatment, with special emphasis on PMTCT, and advance HIV/TB program integration for seamless, effective service provision. With ICAP’s support, Angola is developing its national health information system so decision-makers can recognize trends and direct resources where most needed.
