D1: Improvement Collaboratives Led by Ministries of Health to achieve PEPFAR 90-90-90 targets: examples from Namibia and Zimbabwe
11:00-12:15
HEALTHQUAL with Ministries of Health (MOH) in Namibia and Zimbabwe respectively have launched QI collaboratives to improve gaps in the HIV treatment cascade to achieve global 90-90-90 targets. HEALTHQUAL has uniquely adapted the IHI BTS model to embed this work within national MOH, which is also supported and co-led by local government (state/district). Each collaborative is led by MOH and layered onto existing structures, activities and programs, integrating into the public health portfolio of services.
After this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand how collaboratives can be embedded within existing public health national structures to achieve sustainability
- Understand how collaboratives can be layered onto the foundation of existing capacity building activities and programs
- Understand how learning and knowledge from the collaborative model can enable MOH to design, implement, spread and evaluate Collaboratives moving forward.
- Understand how collaboratives can be deployed to address gaps in the HIV treatment cascade to achieve global 90-90-90 targets.
