EXPERT PATIENT PROGRAM-KCIA, PATA, One to One and DFID

KCIA in partnership with PATA, One to One Childrens Fund, and DFID are implementing the Expert Patient Programme. It aims at improving access to, and quality of, antiretroviral treatment for HIV positive children, adolescents and their families in Zambia (funded by the UK government through DFID)  
The overall programme contributes to reducing HIV prevalence in children and adolescents by improving the quality of care and treatment delivered to HIV+ children, adolescents in Zambia and Zimbabwe. KCIA has partnered with Chazanga and Shifwankula clinics through securing the services of Expert Patients assisting in clinics and linking to communities.
Recently a training was conducted in Lusaka, Zambia from 28th -29th September 2015 for women and men in selected PATA affiliated clinics on basic HIV care to become Expert Patients

This training was aimed at broadening the services offered to HIV+ children, adolescents and their caregivers. Below are some Photos taken during the training
