Abstract

This case examines the potential for a non-governmental organization, Zanmi Lasante/Partners in Health (ZL/PIH), to aid in improving voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) services for HIV at a government hospital in Hinche, Haiti. The events of the case begin when the local government official who oversees the hospital invites ZL/PIH to work with the government to improve the hospital's VCT services. After providing background information on the history of Haiti, on Hinche, and on the state of the current VCT program, the case describes ZL/PIH's health care delivery model including its management systems, its use of community health workers, and its social programs. It explains how ZL/PIH adapted its model of community-based primary care to address HIV prevention and treatment. The case ends with ZL/PIH questioning what steps to take to improve VCT once the team arrives at the government hospital in Hinche. This case is part of the Global Health Delivery Project free case collection (visit www.thecasecentre.org/ghdfreecases for more information on the collection).
