Availability and readiness of public health facilities to provide differentiated service delivery models for HIV treatment in Zambia
Background There is persistent pressure on countries with a high burden of HIV infection to reach desired targets for HIV treatment outcomes. This has led to moving from the “one-size-fits-all” model to differentiated service delivery (DSD) models, which are meant to be more patient-centered and efficient but without compromising on the quality of patient care. However, for DSD models to be efficient, facilities should have indicators of HIV serv…

Potential Contribution of Adult Populations to the Maintenance of Schistosomiasis and Soil-Transmitted Helminth Infections in the Siavonga and Mazabuka Districts of Zambia
A majority of Zambian children live in impoverished communities that lack safe water and proper sanitation, exposing them to urogenital and intestinal helminths. Efforts to mitigate this plight have been implemented through mass drug administration aimed at deworming school-age and under-five children against schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths. However, the disease status of adults living in the same communities as the treated childre…
Social and clinical attributes of patients who restart antiretroviral therapy in central and Copperbelt provinces, Zambia
Age and occupation were the only socio-demographic characteristics predicting CD4 count in the patients at 6 months after restarting antiretroviral therapy after adjusting for other confounding clinical variables
Re-Assessing Community-Directed Treatment
Cross-sectional surveys with carers, health workers, community drug distributors (CDDs) and neighbourhood health committees were conducted to identify factors associated with utilization of community-directed treatment (ComDT) of soil-transmitted helminths in children aged 12–59 months in Mazabuka district, Zambia. The surveys took place in December 2006 and December 2007. In addition child treatment records were reviewed. The factors that were f…
Socio-Demographic Factors Associated With Treatment Against Soil-Transmitted Helminth Infections in Children Aged 12–59 Months Using the Health Facility Approach Alone or Combined With a Community-Dir…
A health facility-based (HF) approach to delivering anthelminthic drugs to children aged 12–59 months in Zambia was compared with an approach where community-directed treatment (ComDT) was added to the HF approach (HF+ComDT). This paper reports on the socio-demographic factors associated with treatment coverage in the HF+ComDT and HF areas after 18 months of implementation. Data were collected by interviewing 288 and 378 caretakers of children ag…
