Optimizing HIV Testing Services in Botswana’s Defence Sector – A Model for High-Quality Diagnostics
Theme: Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI)
Inconsistencies in HIV testing services (HTS) within the national defense sector led to gaps in linkage to treatment and quality assurance, highlighting a need for standardized, high-quality diagnostic solutions.
A structured quality improvement initiative introduced uniform HTS protocols, digitalized data collection, and targeted workforce training to enhance service efficiency and reliability.
With a 95% linkage-to-treatment success rate, this initiative proved that integrating high-precision diagnostics, digital health solutions, and workforce capacity building presents a lucrative opportunity for private sector investment in scalable HIV testing services
