Home Care - 1.3.2 Pilot Project
1.3.2 Pilot Project
Against this backdrop, a one-year pilot home care project was launched in February 1998, implemented by a partnership of MoH and NGOs, with technical and financial support from DFID and WHO. The theoretical framework was the Continuum of Care, but the project design was based on lessons learned from other countries, particularly Thailand, Uganda and Zambia. The objectives of the project were foremost to pilot appropriate home care services for PLHA and other chronic conditions, but also to trial a model of health care in which NGOs and government acted in partnership.
Eight teams were formed, made up of staff from 7 NGOs and nurses from 8 health centres in Phnom Penh. The teams are based at the health centres (selected by MHD), but most of their work involves providing home-based care to patients and affected families in the communities served by their respective health centres. The pilot project was initiated and co-ordinated by the WHO Project Co-ordinator in close partnership with the AIDS Care Unit of NCHADS.
