Person-centred care responds to an individual’s comprehensive needs, values and preferences, rather than focusing solely on their clinical condition. Amid constrained global health funding, especially for community-led and peer-delivered care, sustaining progress in person-centred HIV care is increasingly challenging. Reduced access to and disengagement from HIV prevention and care can undermine the well-being and health outcomes of people living with HIV or vulnerable to HIV acquisition.
Barriers to person-centred care span several levels, including systemic, social, service design, workforce and financing factors. This webinar will explore recent evidence and case studies that illustrate barriers to person-centred care and spotlight approaches to overcoming them. The expert panel discussion will centre the perspectives of people living with and affected by HIV, examining context-specific strategies to improve access to person-centred and equitable care. Participants will learn how person-centred interventions made at the service-provision level and during client-provider interactions can address structural factors, strengthen care experiences and improve health outcomes.
Objectives:
- Explore recent evidence and case studies that illustrate barriers to person-centred care and help identify facilitators.
- Highlight the perspectives of people living with and affected by HIV who are seeking care.
- Provide examples of interventions to strengthen person-centred service delivery and improve client-provider interactions.
