Building on an existing collaboration between Zambia’s National Defense Force and the US Department of Defense’s Naval Medical Center in San Diego, the Twinning Center is supporting a partnership designed to improve HIV-related care for military personnel and their families.

US partners provide technical assistance and help create replicable, integrated models of HIV treatment, care, and support that include enhanced access to evidence-based practices, improving the management of patients on ART, and developing an electronic record system to track and monitor patients and improve treatment adherence.

With CDC support, partners have established two Learning Resource Centers at Maina Soko Military Hospital and the Nursing School Military Hospital to increase military medical personnel’s access to
evidenced-based research and guidelines. These centers serve as learning hubs, providing training on basic computer schools, advanced data retrieval, and evidence-based practices in HIV/AIDS service delivery.

Partners have also established a referral network to improve access to HIV care and treatment services in provincial military bases throughout Zambia.
