Abstract

The article discusses the need to strengthen the health systems capacity in Mozambique to meet the increasing demand for health workers and to establish antiretroviral therapy (ART) delivery capacity and reliance to nonphysician clinicians (NPC). It notes the efforts of the Mozambique Health Ministry of Health (MOH) to reinvigorate the training of NPCs in order to expand the universal access to ART. The role of task shifting clinical responsibilities in the integration of HIV care is also noted.

The article presents a study that identifies the obstacles in antiretroviral treatment (ART) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Central Mozambique. It utilized data of adults who receive services in two public HIV care systems and proportion of people undergoing the steps including HIV testing and CD4 testing was determined. It reveals the substantial drop-offs in the number of people who participated in HIV testing and suggests the need for interventions to improve HIV services.

Abstract

Objectives: To compare HIV care quality provided by non-physician clinicians (NPC) and physicians., Design: Retrospective cohort study assessing the relationship between provider cadre and HIV care quality among non-pregnant adult patients initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the national HIV care programme., Methods: Computerized medical records from patients initiating ART between July 2004 and October 2007 at two HIV public HIV clinics in central Mozambique were used to develop multivariate analyses evaluating differences in process and care continuity measures for patients whose initial provider was a NPC or physician., Results: A total of 5892 patients was included in the study, including 4093 (69.5%) with NPC and 1799 (30.5%) with physicians as initial providers. Those whose initial provider was a NPC were more likely to have a CD4 cell count 90-210 days [risk ratio (RR) 1.13, 1.04
