| Some C/ALHIV had incomplete or outdated information in the electronic patient tracking system |
Health facilities allowed COVida staff to use patients’ physical files/records to complete pending information. Timeline for D2C activities was adjusted to happen after clinical partner’s data cleaning.
|
| Case managers’ supervisors lacked time to conduct the D2C intervention in high volume sites |
The COVida project allocated a full-time pediatric HIV supervisor in each district, whose salary was paid by the project, to facilitate and support the intervention and the updating of C/ALHIV data, monitor the progress of C/ALHIV, and provide specialized support for the most challenging cases.
|
| Some clinical partners and health facilities’ staff expressed resistance to collaborate in implementing the D2C intervention |
After the successful pilot experience in Inhambane, the COVida project presented the D2C standard operating procedures and tool to the USAID/Mozambique mission. To support the scale-up of this approach, the USAID/Mozambique Mission organized a meeting with clinical and OVC partners to promote the approach and requested that all clinical partners collaborate with OVC partners to scale it up.
