  16. Conclusion • Community supported models respond to the needs of a growing cohort of stable patients on ART and their health care workers • Adaptation of these models is ongoing to include other HIV+ patients and allow for a wider application to other diseases • Further analysis and advocacy is needed to ensure models are adapted to contexts and critical enablers are in place André Francois
