Problem:

During an emergency, related to a sharp increase in cases of COVID-19, when it turned out to be a problem to go outside the house, people living with HIV could not simply go to medical centers and get treatment. It was a big question about the continuity of patient care.

Solution:

Partnership Network Association immediately organized a number of mobile teams in the regions of the country to deliver and dispense treatment to the patient’s place of residence. Mobile brigades had passes through the city and could carry out this process without hindrance. It made it possible to keep a certain part of HIV-positive people on treatment. According to statistics, 36% were retained on ARV therapy during the pandemic (in 3 out of seven regions: Chui, Jalal – Abad and Osh, the remote areas of these parts of the country).

Result:

Thanks to the well-coordinated work of NGOs and medical institutions, there were no cases of refusal from ARV therapy in our country.
