Webinar – Overcoming barriers to person-centred care for people living with and affected by HIV

Photo: ©Isabel Corthier/MSFPerson-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.&nbsp;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.Moderator: Ángela León Cáceres, Women4GlobalFund, EcuadorSpeakers:Nina Tumanyan, AIDS Action Europe (AAE), GermanyMichelle Medeiros, Florianópolis Municipal Health Department, BrazilFrancis Kasujja, Medical Research Council / Uganda Virus Research Institute (MRC/UVRI) and London School of Hygiene &amp; Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) Uganda Research Unit, UgandaTammy Phillips, University of Cape Town, South AfricaKombatende Sikombe, Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia (CIDRZ), ZambiaHarry Prabowo, Asia-Pacific Network of People living with HIV/AIDS (APN+), ThailandFor more information, please contact&nbsp;pcc@iasociety.org.
