This five-year project supports the governments of El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama to strengthen HIV prevention, care, and treatment services for key populations and priority populations. Through a subaward to the Pan American Social Marketing Organization (PASMO), the local USAID implementing partner, IntraHealth provides technical support to increase access to these services at 36 sites, focusing on diagnosis, linkage to treatment, retention, viral suppression, and reducing stigma and discrimination.
IntraHealth leads quality-improvement programming at the sites, in coordination with health ministries, using our Optimizing Performance and Quality (OPQ) and Data to Action (D2A) methodologies and the alerTAR patient management tool. We also contribute to annual quality measurements at the sites, strengthening local and regional quality committees, institutionalizing the OPQ process, and conducting user satisfaction evaluations. Collectively, these methodologies will strengthen the capacity of facility teams to provide quality HIV services across the continuum of care and analyze routine site-level data to ensure people living with HIV enroll in treatment and receive a range of person-centered services to achieve and sustain viral load suppression.
