Summary
| Description |
In April 2012, USAID provided equipment and training to the Kyabugimbi Health Center in Uganda. The Pima point-of-care CD4 machine is a tool for measuring patients’ CD4 counts, which is an important indicator of the progression of HIV and necessary for determining an appropriate course of treatment. Previously, it took one month to receive the results of the test. Clients can now receive their results within 20 minutes. USAID is supporting the Ministry of Health to distribute 200 such machines to various facilities in southwestern Uganda that provide anti-retroviral treatment (ART) to persons living with HIV/AIDS. The machines aim to increase access to CD4 testing services and promote early initiation of ART. Unlike conventional CD4 analyzers, this point-of-care CD4 analyzer does not require highly trained technicians, complex back-up equipment, or constant electricity supply. Instead, it is an easy-to-operate machine which enables CD4 testing to be performed efficiently and effectively in a wide range of rural health facilities. (USAID/Renuka Naj) |
