Prevention, Care, and Treatment Partnership II

In collaboration with the Government of Zambia, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Community Development and Mother and Child Health, the Zambia Care and Treatment Partnership (ZPCT II) is being implemented in six provinces to strengthen the national health system by maximizing access, equity, quality and sustainability in the delivery of comprehensive HIV/AIDS services.

The project implements strategies designed to initiate, scale up and strengthen a comprehensive package of HIV/AIDS services, including testing and counseling, prevention of mother-to-child transmission, clinical care, male circumcision and antiretroviral therapy, which are supported by strengthened laboratory and pharmaceutical systems.

ZPCT IIs comprehensive approach involves integrating services; engaging communities, partners and stakeholders; building public-private partnerships; and strengthening major system components affecting the delivery of all services.
