Re-opening of MSF’s HIV program after Cyclone Ida
HIV/AIDS

Evaluation of the AHD Project Component: Beira

Evaluation of The AHD Project Component: HIV Project Beira 2018-2021

Mozambique is one of the most severely affected countries by the HIV pandemic. The Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) – Operational Centre Brussels (OCB) HIV project in Beira started in 2014 as a project for migrants and key populations (KPs). This led to insights into the magnitude of the Advanced HIV Disease (AHD) issue that needed to be addressed. In 2018, MSF introduced an AHD component in the Beira Central Hospital (BCH) and in two health centres (Munhava and to a lesser extent, Ponta Gea). The AHD component covered MSF-run laboratory diagnostics and in-facility case management circuits. During the evaluation period, Cyclone Idai and COVID-19 restrictions were important external factors.

MSF restarts HIV-related activities in Beira after the Cyclone Ida
A consultation with an HIV positive patient on the first day of the full re-opening of MSF’s HIV program in the Munhava health centre after Cyclone Idai struck Beira. The health worker wears a mask because many HIV patients are co-infected with tuberculosis, which can be spread by coughing.
