Details

Background

  • The CHIP was developed during the MD course organised by UCLA and Amref in NRB, April 2009

  • Community Health Improvement Project (CHIP) were developed by pax, (strategic initiative to resolve a significant issue or obstacle in our organization)

  • This took us through a process of conducting environmental analysis, identifying critical issues and/or key problems, reaffirming mission, formulating goals, SMART objectives and strategic options.

Statement of problem:

The key issue identiļ¬ed was

  • Only 9% of patients accessing ARV are children (low coverage)
  • Only 24% of diagnosed HIV positive infants through DNA/PCR are started on ART.(poor access)

The project area that we selected after this process is to increase # of HIV diagnosed infants started on ARV from 24% to 60%, by May 2010
