The THRIVE consortium, led by CHAI in collaboration with Afrocab and Penta and supported by Unitaid, is structured to ensure that community and civil society networks are involved at all levels of care for Advanced HIV Disease (AHD). Through Afrocab’s community leadership, THRIVE will significantly increase the community's involvement in AHD programming, drive demand for focal health products, ensure better HIV management and improved health outcomes, and address the service delivery challenges that are leading to unnecessary suffering for clients and delaying progress to end AIDS-related deaths. This week in Kampala, Afrocab is hosting the first THRIVE Community Advisory Board (CAB) meeting under the THRIVE project. This meeting brings together the newly recruited Afrocab country leads and CAB members from #Kenya, #Nigeria, #SouthAfrica, #Uganda, and #Zimbabwe. The participants are building their knowledge and capacity on AHD, discussing the significant challenges that adults and children face in accessing these life-saving packages of care, and aligning on activities to implement as part of the national AHD responses. This includes designing innovative community-led activities to increase pediatric AHD case identification, increasing AHD screening at facilities and within communities, and planning ways to strengthen AHD support at the community-level. THRIVE CAB members will play an essential role as master AHD trainers and national community leaders for AHD, supporting the implementation of the THRIVE project. This critical work is centering community in the development of solutions to ensure that no one with or at risk of developing AHD is left behind, and this is enabled through the generous support of Unitaid.

CHAI and the Ministry of Health, Zambia, have published a groundbreaking study in BMC Health Services Research, evaluating the first large-scale evaluation of the introduction of the non-pneumatic anti-shock garment (NASG). The NASG is a lifesaving compression device that helps women manage heavy blood loss resulting from childbirth. In places where health facilities are remote, it can buy new mothers time before they can get the help they need. This study marks the first large-scale implementation of NASGs, covering 143 public health facilities. The introduction of the NASG, combined with training, clinical mentorship in shock management, and support for robust emergency referral systems, significantly improved maternal health outcomes. This initiative is now being sustained beyond the initial partner support. 🤓Read the paper: https://lnkd.in/dpxMxG9A #ReproductiveHealth #MaternalHealth #HealthForAll #PrimaryHealthcare #MaternalMortality #MaternalHealthMatters #PostpartumHemorrhage

Despite past progress, global maternal mortality rates have stagnated and even reversed in some high-burden countries. Significant progress requires the introduction and sustainable scaling of innovations and under-utilized products such as the non-pneumatic anti-shock garment (NASG). The NASG is a lightweight, washable, reusable, and affordable lifesaving first aid device for women suffering from heavy blood loss following childbirth. In Zambia, the Ministry of Health, in partnership with CHAI, successfully deployed the NASG in rural and underdeveloped areas. The introduction of the NASG, combined with training, clinical mentorship in shock management, and support for robust emergency referral systems, significantly improved maternal health outcomes. This initiative is now being sustained beyond the initial partner support. On Friday, June 28, the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition organized a webinar where, together with the Ministry of Health, Zambia, we talked about our work in introducing the NASG. This webinar is now available on YouTube to watch: https://ow.ly/EgVJ50SuKq9 #ReproductiveHealth #MaternalHealth #HealthForAll #PrimaryHealthcare #MaternalMortality #MaternalHealthMatters #PostpartumHemorrhage

Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH) in Ethiopia saves US$8,700 monthly, since the government reallocated two oxygen plants from the emergency response center used at the height of the #COVID19 to the hospital. At the onset of the #COVID19 pandemic, the Ethiopian government swiftly turned the Millennium Hall into a COVID-19 response center, expanding its bed capacity from 360 to 1,000. With Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and CHAI support, it procured two additional oxygen plants, installed bedside oxygen support for up to 130 beds, and trained over 2,000 health workers to address the surge in patients. As the pandemic threat abated, the government collaborated with CHAI to identify high-impact hospitals to relocate the equipment used at the Millennium Hall. One of those hospitals was Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH), the oldest and largest referral hospital in the country with more than 700 functional beds, that serves patients from all regions in the country. The Ministry of Health (MOH) in collaboration with CHAI moved the first plant, pipeline, and manifold systems to TASH and the second plant to the UN makeshift Hospital/Bulbula COVID-19 Treatment Center for the continued management of COVID-19 cases. After the government revised its treatment protocol for the integration of COVID-19 into routine medical care services, the Ethiopian Ministry of Health moved the second PSA plant to TASH to ensure the sustainable availability of medical oxygen in this referral hospital. Today, the two oxygen plants at TASH have greatly alleviated the long-standing issues with accessing medical-grade oxygen and financial strain, resulting in monthly savings of over US$8,700. This is money that the hospital management would have otherwise spent on procuring oxygen from the private sector. The collaborative effort between MOH and CHAI proves that with thorough planning and commitment, we can turn a crisis into an opportunity for sustainable improvement in healthcare infrastructure.

📌Not to be missed! 📅Join us tomorrow at 9 am EDT/3 pm CAT as we discuss findings from a groundbreaking study on NASG use in Zambia. The Non-pneumatic anti-shock garment (NASG) is a lightweight, washable, reusable, and affordable lifesaving first aid device for women suffering from heavy blood loss following childbirth (postpartum hemorrhage). When a woman undergoes post-partum hemorrhage, she can die from shock within two hours. The NASG can be used to control bleeding, reverse shock, and temporarily stabilize the patient, allowing time (up to 36 hours) for her to be transported to a health facility for proper care. CHAI and the Ministry of Health, Zambia, conducted a large-scale, first-of-its-kind study on the use of the NASG across 143 public health facilities in Zambia. After 16 months of introducing the device, nearly all facilities use and have functional NASGs. Join us tomorrow at 9 am EDT/3 pm as we discuss the results of the study. This webinar is organized by the Maternal Health Supplies Caucus of the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition. ✍️Register: https://ow.ly/ZqCF50Src02 #MaternalHealth #ChildHealth
