Airborne Outreach: Building HIV Capacity and Strengthening Health Care Systems in Rural Botswana

There is a paucity of research demonstrating how HIV-funded services in Africa have improved equity and access to non-HIV services for both HIV-infected and uninfected patients.

The analysis demonstrates how this HIV-funded program enhanced access to essential subspecialist services at several rural health facilities across Botswana.
