Aligning HIV treatment and hypertension clinic visits and dispensing as a first step towards service delivery integration in South Africa
Aligning medication visits and dispensing for HIV and other chronic diseases marks an initial step towards integrated service delivery. Our results demonstrate achievable medication visit alignment without increased visit burden for comorbid clients and those in DSD models, suggesting that HIV-HTN integration is feasible within DSD models, matching client preferences for comprehensive care.
