Government to computerise the database for people living with HIV

Government will soon computerise the database for people living with HIV and introduce electronic patient tracking.

The computerisation is expected to phase out double dipping and ensure easy access of anti-retroviral medicine from any site.
Speaking at a consultative and planning meeting with People Living with HIV in Kwekwe on Wednesday, National Aids Council monitoring and evaluation director Amon Mpofu said patient tracking was meant to improve the stocking system of ARVs at all sites.

The system will be introduced next year and would ensure that every patient can access ARVs from anywhere in the country.
