  • Updated description of Malawi Integrated HIV Program Report 2010 Q3 from

    By the end of September 2010, __237,621__ patients were alive and on ART in Malawi, equivalent to __60%__ coverage of the estimated population in need of ART. There were __406__ ART clinics (296 static clinics and 110 outreach /mobile clinics). Out of the __326,440__ patients ever initiated on ART, __237,621 (73%)__ were retained alive on ART, __38,065 (12%)__had died, __49,747 (15%)__ were lost to follow-up (defaulted) and __1,392 (<1%)__ were known to have stopped ART. __78%__ of adults and __74%__ of children were retained alive on ART 12 months after ART initiation. An estimated __216,449__ adults and __21,172__ children (<15 years) were alive on ART by the end of September 2010. In the third quarter of 2010 (July to September) a total of __18,579__ new patients initiated ART. 4,598 ART patients transferred between clinics (20% of the total __23,241__ new ART clinic registrations). Among new registrations 40% were male, 60% female; 90% were adults and 10% children. The number of infants starting ART in the second quarter of 2010 in WHO stage 1 or 2 with confirmed HIV infection (DNA-PCR) remained similar at 105 (previous 107) , while children under 18 months starting due to presumed severe HIV disease increased from __138__ to __153__. The delayed release of funds in 2009 has continued to affect the supply chain for ARVs during quarter __3, 2010__, as drugs continued to arrive late and in small batches, requiring several rounds of distribution and re-location of remaining stocks. The scheduled June consignment only started to arrive in October 2010. However, 2 emergency orders, procured from ‘cost savings’ with UNICEF arrived between June and September 2010. These emergency supplies included __1,000,800__ tins of first line regimen (Triomune), __15,000__ Triomune starter packs, __2,000__ tins of Lamivudine, __2,000__ tins of Nevirapine and 700 Bioline test kits. As of September 2010, total ARV stocks in country and in pipeline are estimated to last until mid 2011. In June 2010, MOH management endorsed a change in PMTCT and ART and infant feeding policy. The National policy guidelines based on the new recommendations have been developed and approved by MOH. Work on the new guidelines continues and implementation is scheduled for July 2011.
