Description:S T R A T E G I C F O C U S
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) South Africa began its collaboration with South African non-governmental and community-based organizations in 1989 to address the country’s growing HIV issues. In 1994, CDC South Africa strengthened its support and began working with the government of South Africa to develop national HIV clinical, ethical, and research guidelines along with HIV and TB service delivery programs. Since the launch of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in 2003, this support rapidly expanded and today strategically focuses on:
• HIV prevention
• Integration of HIV and tuberculosis (TB) in clinical cascades
• Health workforce capacity, placement, and retention
• Laboratory capacity, health information systems, and surveillance and response systems that monitor HIV, TB, and other diseases of national significance, and
• Creation of a policy and legal framework for a National Public Health Institute (NPHI).
