Jose Macamo: an innovative project for our patients with advanced HIV

Mozambique is one of the top ten countries with high HIV burden with 2.2 million people affected by HIV in 2019. The MSF intervention in Maputo, the capital city, aims at supporting the MoH to develop innovative models of care in complicated and advanced HIV/DRTB cases.

An important percentage of PLHIV continue to present with diseases related to advanced HIV due to ART treatment failure, interruption of treatment or late diagnosis leading to delayed treatment. In March 2018, as part of its overall intervention in different structures in Maputo, MSF started activities in Jose Macamo Hospital in order to reduce advanced HIV related morbidity and mortality. This innovative intervention, carried out by MSF together with the national health authorities, is aiming at providing screening, diagnosis and treatment to patients affected by advanced HIV in less than 48h.
