Participant Manual for the Clinical Mentoring Training Course

Abstract

Achieving and maintaining acceptable levels of quality of care in the view of decentralization and rapid scale up of HIV prevention, care and treatment in Ethiopia is a matter of concern. But providing good quality health care to the increasing number of PLHIV is a great challenge mainly due to lack of resources. One strategy in response to the human resource constraints of HIV/AIDS activities in Ethiopia is task-shifting. While performing task-shifting activities, we have to maintain quality of HIV/AIDS services in the health facilities. Even though many factors govern HIV service quality, a well-designed and coordinated clinical mentoring program is taken as an immediate option of interventions to achieve and maintain the desired quality of HIV care/ART.
