A Report on Sample Transport System activities in the West Region
under the CBCHS HIV Free West Region Project.
STS Quarterly Programmatic Report
Executive Summary
CRIHSS Foundation joined the CBCHS HIV Free West Region Team to strengthen the sample transport system to expedite and uphold quality service delivery within the PLHIV community in the West region. From April to June 2022, we regularly transported VL (6,010) and EID (151) samples from 24 PEPFAR supported health facilities, and reported weekly and monthly on the later.
We documented all challenges and initiated corrective actions and follow up with sites within the framework to ensure proper running of the program. During this time we continue to leverage our Business Process Management and Continuous Improvement (BPMCI) Model to guarantee uninterrupted delivery of our STS services.
In this quarter, as part of our technical support to sites, we conducted
supportive site visits to some POC sites with high error rates to conduct a
root cause/situational analysis of the challenges onsite and recommend
mitigations to prevent any further occurrence of the challenges.
Furthermore, we had a meeting with the HIV Free West Regional Management Team where we presented and reviewed some of the challenges around the Lab-Clinic interphase, and conducted a gap analysis on the number of samples collected per facility to assess the true performance of each facility.
