[vc_separator color=»orange» border_width=»2″] THRIVE Project is implemented by a consortium led by Clinton Health Access Initiative, in collaboration with Afrocab and Penta. The consortium aims to dramatically reduce mortality among adults and children living with HIV by enabling access to critical prevention, screening, and treatment commodities, and centering local leadership and community-owned solutions to find and serve people living with advanced HIV disease (AHD) where they are. Background In 2022, 630,000 people died from AIDS – more than one death every minute. This staggeringly high number of preventable deaths reveals a stark gap betwe en global goals and actual outcomes. To deliver reductions in morbidity and mortality, a number of challenges that remain must be addressed. Challenges that remain in the AHD space: The Consortium This work was made possible with the support of Unitaid through the Clinton Health Access Initiative-led THRIVE project in partnership with Afrocab and Penta. Penta is working in partnership with operational research partners Zvitambo, Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, and Mildmay Uganda to generate evidence on the implementation of the STOP AIDS package. Afrocab is working with communities in focal countries. Team-COACH project aims at tackling the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) issue in the pediatric settings, both in hospitals and in primary care structures, by providing training, and increasing the capacity building in healthcare workers in Spain, Italy and Greece. Its main goal is to reduce unnecessary and inappropriate antibiotic prescribing, and inadequate infection prevention & control (IPC) which are two leading causes of AMR. This will be done through the creation of an electronic training tool as well as a network of healthcare centers where the tool will be disseminated.
