Haiti - Health : The American Chargé d'Affaires visits the GHESKIO Laboratories 18/04/2017 10:58:00 With PEPFAR funding, GHESKIO provides life-saving antiretroviral treatment (ART) free of charge to more than 25,000 patients annually. During the site visit, Chargé Shukan toured GHESKIO's ART clinic and learned about new approaches to improve patient care – such as multi-month scripting of ART and a "rapid pathway" intervention aimed at reducing patient wait times. At GHESKIO's pediatric unit, the largest pediatric AIDS clinic in Haiti, Chargé Shukan met with Dr. Vanessa Rouzier to discuss how PEPFAR is supporting HIV exposed infants to receive HIV treatment and care for TB. PEPFAR also works with GHESKIO to provide integrated services to victims of gender-based violence (GBV) and to identify and refer victims of GBV through a network of community health workers. Chargé Shukan met with representatives of the program to learn about the prevalence of GBV in Haiti and how PEPFAR is supporting GHESKIO to care for victims of violence. Chargé Shukan toured GHESKIO's vocational school – a training workshop for victims of GBV designed to promote resiliency and economic independence – and spoke with participants in the program.
