Nigeria, in 2016, adopted the HIV differentiated service delivery model (DSD). A WHO in- country assessment in 2018 revealed the need to prioritize the implementation of this models to fully realize its benefits. Through a global fund grant (2021-2023)(GF strategic initiative), and with WHO oversight support, Nigeria was able to scale up DSD services to health facilities and communities. Please find a global report of the DSD SI related TA lessons learned and insights featuring Nigeria among other countries. #WHO # HIV differentiated service delivery. #Leadership
I am very happy to share the "Technical assistance to accelerate the implementation of WHO recommendations on HIV testing and treatment delivery: insights and lessons learned in 18 countries" report that summarizes the insights and lessons learned from the Global Fund DSD SI work that introduced me to DSD ART at the global level 4 years ago. I am very thankful for this experience, the obstacles that we did or did not manage to overcome, and the connections with key stakeholders with whom this work would not have been possible. It is not easy to summarize it all in a report. Still, hopefully, these learnings can serve as motivation for continued work on technical assistance in a sustained and effective way. Thanks to all colleagues from WHO HQ, regional and country offices, National programs, implementing partners, civil society representatives, and Global Fund colleagues for the great collaboration.

7 个月DSD was a bold initiative and it was just in time to mitigate the disruption of conventional health services during early days of COVID 19. Kudos for your leadership in driving this
