Klinik Solidarite - Providing Healthcare to HIV Positive Former Prisoner’s and Their Partners in Vulnerable Areas of Haiti (PID023)

3.30pm – 4.15pm EDT, 26 October 2022 ‐ 45 mins

Parallel Workshops

The identification of HIV positive patients in custody in the Haitian prison system has never been more important. Health through Walls in partnership with the Aids Healthcare Foundation has led ground-breaking work to enable positive health outcomes for incarcerated persons upon release from prison, that extends to their families, and their communities more broadly. Against a backdrop of political unrest, gang crime, natural disasters, the COVOID-19 pandemic, and the kidnapping of civilians, the partnership has established robust clinical pathways that are significantly impacting the public health of the Haitian community. From 2014 to 2017 Klinik Solidarite has been using these strategies to reach the community targeted. Since 2017, the Ministry of Health retrieved our strategy, added new indicator or questions and is now being used across all sites in the country. We would very much like to share our experience and learning with you.
