description
Problem: In Kenya, despite 150,000 children infected with HIV, with 19 000 new infections each year, there were only 30,000 on care and treatment. CHIP Project To increase access to comprehensive care and treatment of pediatric patients, including nutrition through establishing a family-based clinic The main hospital campus runs a daily clinic, as does the outreach clinic at Githogoro while the satellite clinics run weekly or biweekly HIV clinic services. This is one of the few dedicated pediatric sites addressing issues beyond care and treatment in a family set up. The adolescent cohort that has grown in number is transitioning to adulthood and under the program’s care will contribute to a HIV free generation.
