There are 127 ART centres operating in the country as of June 2007. By 2012, 250 ART centres will become functional across the country in order to provide people living with HIV/AIDS better access to treatment.

Where are these ART Centres Located?

In order to make treatment more accessible ART centres are located in medical colleges, district hospitals and non-profit charitable institutions providing care, support and treatment services to PLHA. A PLHA network person at each of the ART centre facilitates access to care and treatment services at these centres. ART centres also provide counselling and follow up on treatment adherence and support through community care centres.
