Programs and Activities

Home Based Care

Home based care program is one of the most sufficient service provided to the infected population.

The outreach program targets clients and families at their homes. Over 200 patients benefit from this program. The home based care staff including a team of counsellors, medical staff pays visits to client’s home four times a week to access clients needs.

The purpose of the home-based care services is to encourage the community to participate in treatment and support to the HIV/AIDS patients.

Knowing well that there are some communities that continue to discriminate HIV/AIDS Patients, which increases stress and stigma on them hence quick yet avoidable deaths, home based care program comes to bail out the situation.

It caters for treatment of opportunistic diseases, offers opportunities of counselling the affected families and the community, and ensures food supply to the most needy. Home-based care also identifies, cares and gives support to orphans and vulnerable children (OVA)
