PLHIVs need to receive a continuum of care and support services. This funding will support the expansion of care and support services at the community level in Addis Ababa, in collaboration with other PEPFAR partners. Such care will improve the quality of life of patients and their families. This program will strengthen Ethiopia's efforts in the development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of care and support at hospitals, health centers and community level partners, improving access to quality interventions for PLHIVs.
