Availability and readiness of public health facilities to provide differentiated service delivery models for HIV treatment in Zambia: implications for better treatment outcomes
Although most facilities had available HIV service indicators and were ready to provide DSD models, most facilities did not have all indicators of availability and readiness. In addition, there were differences between rural and urban facilities in some indicators. There is a need for persistent and heightened efforts meant to implement DSD in HIV treatment, especially in rural areas to accelerate reaching the desired HIV treatment outcomes.
