HOPE to Home
HOPE to Home continues to grow as one of our major projects. One of the biggest challenges in paediatric HIV today is the retention in care of patients who have started ART. Good adherence to treatment is essential in order to avoid the development of drug resistant HIV. HOPE to Home is a project at Tygerberg Hospital that aims to help patients and their caregivers to make the transition between treatment as an inpatient in Tygerberg Hospital’s ward to being treated as an outpatient in the community health centre. This is done through relationship building, support, education and ongoing telephonic follow up. We are increasingly seeing more patients and are committed to promoting and facilitating their adherence to medication with the continued support of our donor, BILD “Ein Herz für Kinder”.
