Description:CDC has provided technical assistance (TA) to Papua New Guinea (PNG) since 2007 through cooperative agreements with the World Health Organization (WHO) and HEALTHQUAL to collaborate with the National Department of Health (NDOH), Provincial Health Authorities, and other partners. The CDC PNG Office was established in 2012 to build capacity and support health system strengthening to impact the PNG HIV/tuberculosis (TB) epidemics. CDC PNG receives annual funding of about two million dollars under the U.S. President’s Emergency Program for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
Enhancing Surveillance and Health Information Systems: CDC builds in-country capacity to design, implement and evaluate HIV/AIDS surveillance systems and improve national health information systems to collect, store, analyze and use high-quality data essential to HIV prevention, care and treatment.
Strengthening Health Systems: CDC partners with the NDOH and WHO for laboratory International Organization for Standardization (ISO) accreditation to improve HIV-related testing, the roll out of clinical quality improvement to improve HIV care and treatment, the adoption and roll out of national HIV guidelines, and strengthening of organizational governance and management systems.
Strengthening Laboratory Systems: CDC provides TA to the Central Public Health Laboratory (CPHL) of the NDOH to increase HIV-related testing capacity and improve test quality, timeliness and reporting. Laboratory priorities include quality assurance for rapid HIV testing and other related HIV testing, ensuring accurate results are provided to clients, and strategizing for scale-up of viral load testing.
Building Sustainable, Country-owned Programs - HIV Care and Treatment Quality Improvement (QI): CDC, in partnership with WHO PNG and HEALTHQUAL International, has assisted the NDOH to formulate the national HIVQUAL framework to improve the quality of HIV care and treatment through monitoring of quality indicators and implementing quality improvement projects. Endorsement of HIVQUAL as a NDOH policy of HIV program paves the way for all stakeholders involved in HIV Care and Treatment to improve the quality of care of treatment.
