As a physician working for Partners in Health in Rwanda, I have witnessed the impact of this relentless approach to HIV care and treatment, and the stabilizing and uplifting impact it has had on the lives of Rwandans. Patients who would have previously been hospitalized with severe and end-stage complications of HIV are now coming for regular, preventive care. Families and communities previously devastated by the dual impact of insecurity and HIV are now thriving hubs for HIV prevention and treatment. I’ve come to realize that this tiny East African country may have large lessons to share with the global HIV movement. ^ so many lessons not just for HIV / healthcare, but for understanding how setting effective metrics + empowering frontline workers can transform behavior and outcomes :)
