| Abstract | Differentiated Models of Care (DMOC) reduce patient costs to continue on antiretroviral therapy (ART), provide tailored ART support, reduce congestion in ART facilities, and provide the foundation for patient-centered chronic disease wellness systems. The PEPFAR-supported Centers for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia (CIDRZ) has developed, and is implementing, Community-based Adherence Groups (CAGs). CAGs provide routine ART management to patients and through community-level distribution decongest high-volume facilities and reduce patients’ difficulties in accessing ART from centralized distribution sites. Currently, CIDRZ is implementing 856 CAGs across 5 Districts in 3 provinces (Lusaka, Eastern and Southern Provinces) in Zambia and in 21 facilities. |
