CQUIN’s workshop on the Science and Practice of DSD Scale-Up was held in Ezulwini, Eswatini from June 26-29, 2018. The three-day meeting was designed to foster intensive south-to-south consultation on national scale up strategies and to catalyze progress within each country towards scale-up. It focused on three key facilitators of DSD scale-up: engaging recipients of care and communities to increase demand for and support of DSD services, optimizing human resources to support DSD; and effective utilization of routine viral load test results for patient management.
Representatives from ministries of health in ten CQUIN countries gathered, along with implementing partners, donors, civil society, and U.S. Government agencies, to share best practices and lessons learned that would enable each country team to develop a road map towards achieving national coverage of DSD services.
