| Summary: | This report describes the short-term
outcomes of an evaluation study for five different HIV
cohorts using routinely collected data. The evaluation study
is a collaboration between the National Department of Health
of South Africa, the National Health Laboratory Service
(NHLS) and the World Bank. Boston University/Health
Economics and Epidemiology Research Office (HE2RO) is the
academic partner in the evaluation. The overall aims of the
evaluation are to assess the impact of South Africa`s
Adherence Guideline interventions on HIV patients’ treatment
outcomes; estimate the costs of the interventions; and
describe the cascade of care for TB, hypertension, and
diabetes at the same clinics. The short-term endpoints
reported on herein concern ART initiation among FTIC
eligible patients, ARV medication pick-up among AC and DMD
eligible patients, retention in care among TRIC eligible
patients, and viral load suppression among EAC eligible
patients. The final outcomes of this evaluation will be
reported on separately, once patients have been follow-up
for one year and routine data on viral load suppression and
retention in care become available |
