Client flow pathway into HIV care and treatment within family-centred approach.

<p>Figure demonstrates the patient flow at integrated facilities; the pathway has been adapted from the WHO Integrated Management of Adult Illness sequence of care. Entry points into family-based points including outpatient care, maternal and child health clinics, antenatal care, inpatient admissions, and community-based outreach. Clients then proceed through triage assessments, education and support as required, assessment of client and family health status, care and treatment as required, positive prevention for HIV-infected clients, and follow-up care services.</p

Cumulative trend of uptake of paediatric care after introduction of family-based approach at Mildmay main site in 2003.

Uptake data shows sharp increases for all three indicators at 2003, when the family-based approached was introduced at Mildmay.</p
