Differentiated service delivery for ART SAMU SUMMARIES SEPTEMBER 2017 samumsf.org
Objectives of session • To be aware of the global guidance on differentiated service delivery for ART • To explain the main principles of differentiated models of ART delivery for stable adult patients and specific populations • To be able to decide what differentiated ART delivery strategies would best suit your setting
Consensus definition 2016 : WHO , UNAIDS, Global Fund, CDC, USAID, OGAC, Gates Foundation, MSF Differentiated careis a client-centred approach that simplifies and adapts HIV services across the cascade to reflect the preferences and expectations of groups of people living with HIV (PLHIV) while reducing unnecessary burdens on the health system.
Differentiated Initiation Differentiated Testing Differentiated ART delivery
Differentiated Care in International Guidance WHO 2016 GF, WHO, OGAC, USAID, CDC, GATES, MSF 2016 Dec 2015 Global Fund Kenya, Uganda, Senegal
Differentiated service deliveryThe Three Elements Clinical Characteristics Context Specific population
Differentiated service deliveryThe building blocks Evidence for Each of these building blocks reviewed in WHO 2016 Guideline
An example of using elements and building blocks for ART delivery Element • Subpopulation: Adults • Clinical characteristic :Stable • Context: High prevalence / stable • Building Blocks for fast track model
Where is ART Provided? Move further towards community delivery ? Mentorship/supervision Supply chain Decentralising HIV treatment in lower- and middle-income countries. Kredo T1, Ford N, Adeniyi FB, Garner P. Cochrane review 2013
Who is providing ART delivery? The importance of task sharing Community health workers able to dispense ART between regular visits
Health care worker-managed group Facility-based individual Community based Client-managed group Community based individual
2. Individual Community ART Refill ( Outreach/ community pharmacy) • Kinshasa • Time for refill reduced 14 mins v 85 mins • Transport costs 3x less when collection at distribution points • Individual Facility ART refill- • fast track • Chiradzulu district Malawi 3mth refills ; 6 mth clinical • 50% in fast track • at 36 months 94% of clients in fast track retained v 83% of clients with same eligibility criteria staying in conventional care (Mguire et al 2011)
Health care worker led group refill “Adherence Clubs” (20-30 clients: South Africa, Kenya) When? Every 2- 3 months Takes 30-60 minutes After work Saturdays Where? Most Meet At facility Works better in urban settings Who ? Facilitated by lay worker
Adherence Clubs in Cape Town Wilkinson et al, TMIH, 2016 Data as of June 2016: N=53,523– 36% of the cohort Outcomes 12 months: 95.2% retention & 97% virally suppressed 24 months: 89.3% retention & 96% virally suppressed
Community ART Groups Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi, SA, Lesotho , Kenya Who ? Our group leader helps us to complete the community refill checks Where? We Meet in each other’s houses Generally more often in rural settings What ? Every three months we meet together and check we are healthy One of us then goes to collect all the drugs Once a year we go for clinical check up and viral load When? We meet every 3 mths Self forming Groups (4-12) Stable Adults Collecting ART for each other
Community ART Groups: Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi, SA, Lesotho Mozambique Retention in CAG 91% at 48 mths 20-45% of cohort in CAGS Qualitative Income Generating Activities Time and money saving Benefits of peer support “The advantage of being in a CAG is that you can do other small jobs when you know that a group member will collect ART for you. This makes things easier “ Outcomes (Decroo et al ; Rasschaert, 2014; Vandendyck 2015)
Reduction in ART refill 59% reduction in refill visits in Thyolo Malawi Billauld 2014

Key Messages • Differentiated service delivery is about putting the patient at the centre of our planning • Differentiated service delivery spans across the cascade of care and is not just for stable adults • Use the elements and building blocks to build the model of ART delivery • The model chosen will be context specific to answer local challenges • Having the key enablers in place is a foundation for providing successful differentiated ART delivery
