New Research Project
HOPE Cape Town is involved in a research project based in the Paediatric HIV Clinic in Delft. This clinic is situated in a peri -urban township where the HOPE doctors work on a Friday. The research aims to document how many children on anti-retroviral therapy are failing their treatment and if so what are the reasons for this failure. The ultimate aim is to see if our HOPE Community Health Care Workers can address any of the reasons for treatment failure.
We have received Ethics approval and approval from the Western Cape Department of Health and are currently in the data collection phase. We also aim to provide this clinic with an up to date record of all HIV positive children who have ever attended this clinic.
