Who we are

Nairobi HIV Clinical Support Centre/TWG was started in 2017 with objective of improving service delivery to the PLHIV in Nairobi county through capacity building, mentorship, clinical decision making support and coordination of commodities such as Drug Resistance Test and 3rd line ART commodities.

The inception of the Nairobi county HIV Clinical Support Centre in 2017 was informed by her.

• High HIV burden
• Long TAT for case reviews
• Mature cohorts and other complications-which were affecting the quality of care of the patients hence the need to form the County HIV Clinical support centre for real time case reviews and capacity building of the HCWs.

On capacity building we have managed to facilitate over 60 CMEs since 2017 and coordinated the university of Washington, Department of Global Health online courses where over 1000 people have participated so far.

On clinical decision making support we have managed to review over 400 cases and feedback given to the facilities. We have also been able to offer technical assistance via phone consultations.

On commodity coordination we have recommended over 100 Drug Resistance Tests(DRT) and 72 clients have so far been switched to 3rd line ART regimen.

We have also managed to conduct and coordinate the mentorship activities both TWG led and SCASCOs led. Recently we have introduced Sub County Clinical Lead mentors (SCCLMs) to compliment the SCASCOs especially on the mentorship cascade.
