It has implemented;
-the “Integrated HIV Care (IHC) Programme” in collaboration with multiple key stakeholders, operating Out Patient clinics for HIV care and treatment.
-the “Programme to Increase Catchment of Tuberculosis Presumptives (PICTS)” which is a community driven project, identifying thousands of presumptive TB cases and directly supporting the care and treatment services.
