Facilitators, barriers and service availability for delivering integrated care for the triple elimination of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B vertical transmission in Uganda: a multi-site explanatory mixed methods study
Health facility service readiness and availability percentage scores differed across facilities and between the two regions. Several health system factors facilitate integrated service provision for elimination of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B vertical transmission. This integration is, however, constrained by a number of health system barriers. Further implementation research could contribute to addressing the various health system constraints and adoption of strategies for service integration tailored to site contexts.
