HIVQUAL in Uganda
HIVQUAL-Uganda History
HIVQUAL Uganda was piloted in 2006 with 7 core indicators in 20 clinics in 4 regions, and has since expanded implementation to 127 clinics in 42 districts and 12 regions. The current scope of program includes adult and pediatric HIV, PMTCT and HCT.
After baseline data collection, regional quality improvement trainings were held, in which each pilot site chose a focus area for improvement based on their own data. In December 2007, a second data collection was completed, showing improvements across most indicators and at most sites after the implementation of their quality improvement projects.
HIVQUAL Uganda is led by the Ministry of Health.

Home to more than 30 million people, Uganda is located in East Africa. In 2005, it was estimated that 6.7 percent of the population is infected with HIV. Thanks to increased funding in recent years through PEPFAR and other agencies, antiretroviral rollout has resulted in an estimated 106,000 Ugandans receiving ARV treatment as of September 2007.
