The scale-up of HIV services in lower-income countries has created the first large-scale continuity care program in many settings. Although HIV and chronic noncommunicable diseases are thought of as quite different challenges and tend to be “siloed” throughout the health system, the availability of treatment has transformed HIV into a chronic condition—and HIV programs have developed the systems, tools, and approaches needed to support continuity care in the local context. In many cases, HIV…

    HIV, aging and continuity care: strengthening health systems to support services for noncommunicable diseases in low-income countries
    TLDR
    These systems, lessons and resources can be leveraged to support the burgeoning numbers of HIV-negative individuals with chronic NCD in need of ongoing care.
    Strengthening Health Systems for Chronic Care: Leveraging HIV Programs to Support Diabetes Services in Ethiopia and Swaziland
    TLDR
    Two proof-of-concept studies are conducted to further the understanding of the status of NCD programs and the feasibility and effectiveness of adapting HIV program-related tools and systems for patients with DM in Swaziland and Ethiopia.
    Non‐communicable diseases and HIV care and treatment: models of integrated service delivery
    TLDR
    Models of NCD and HIV integration, challenges and lessons learned are described, which can build upon experience with chronic care models from HIV programmes.
    Strengthening the health workforce to support integration of HIV and noncommunicable disease services in sub-Saharan Africa
    TLDR
    Health workforce-related lessons from HIV scale-up, their implications for integrating noncommunicable disease services into HIV programs, ways to ensure that healthcare workers have the knowledge, skills, resources, and enabling environment they need to provide comprehensive integrated HIV/NCD services, and discussion of a priority research agenda are explored.

      Current opinion in HIV and AIDS
    • 2013
    TLDR
    The overall benefit of a coordinated approach to HIV and NCDs will be that health systems could be strengthened in a sustainable manner, however, such approaches must carefully weigh the benefits against risks to existing structures and must consider all the relevant stakeholders in their implementation.
    Integrating noncommunicable disease services into primary health care, Botswana
    TLDR
    Through the guideline development process, Botswana learnt that strong interdisciplinary skills in communication, organization, coalition building and systems thinking, and technical grasp of best-practices in low- and middle-income countries were important.
    Adapting HIV patient and program monitoring tools for chronic non-communicable diseases in Ethiopia
    TLDR
    Adaptation and use of HIV patient and program monitoring tools for NCD services can improve NCD response in Ethiopia through structuring services, standardizing patient care and treatment, supporting evidence-based planning and providing information on effectiveness of interventions.
    The Integration of HIV/AIDS and Non-communicable Disease Policies
    TLDR
    This review paper sheds light on the major concepts, rationale, approaches, challenges and evaluation criteria for the integration of HIV/AIDS and NCDs policies in the context of developing countries.
    A scoping review of the role of HIV-related stigma and discrimination in noncommunicable disease care
    TLDR
    Evidence of the role of HIV stigma in the NCD-care continuum for people living with HIV is identified and lessons from the field of HIV-stigma research can serve as a guide for these efforts.

    Why reinvent the wheel? Leveraging the lessons of HIV scale-up to confront non-communicable diseases
    TLDR
    HIV programmes are, in fact, the first large-scale chronic disease programmes in many countries, offering local and effective tools, models and approaches that can be replicated, adapted and expanded, and might be used to ‘jumpstart’ the development of initiatives to provide prevention, care and treatment services for NCDs and other chronic conditions.
    Prevention and management of chronic disease: a litmus test for health-systems strengthening in low-income and middle-income countries
    Affordability, availability and acceptability barriers to health care for the chronically ill: Longitudinal case studies from South Africa
    TLDR
    The experience of poor households attempting to access chronic care in a rural area of South Africa is described, finding that productive patient-provider interactions not only facilitated appropriate treatment action but enabled patients to justify their need for financial assistance to family and neighbours, and so access care.
    Where Have All the Donors Gone? Scarce Donor Funding for Non-Communicable Diseases
    TLDR
    Additional donor funding is needed to support developing-countries efforts to incorporate NCDs into their existing health care programs through such mechanisms and hypertension and cancer screening and prevention programs, and proven policy solutions such as tobacco taxation and salt reduction.
    Improving the quality of health care for chronic conditions
    TLDR
    The resultant effort is the Innovative Care for Chronic Conditions (ICCC) framework which expands community and policy aspects of improving health care for chronic conditions and includes components at the micro, meso, and macro levels.
    A Survey of Leading Chronic Disease Management Programs: Are They Consistent with the Literature?
    TLDR
    Survey and site visits of the chronic disease management activities of 72 programs nominated by experts in the field of chronic illness care were described as being particularly innovative and effective, and the surveys indicated common barriers to further expansion of innovative pilot programs.
    Innovative care for chronic conditions: building blocks for action

    Non‐communicable diseases in low‐ and middle‐income countries: context, determinants and health policy
    TLDR
    Theories of developmental and degenerative determinants of non‐communicable diseases are discussed to provide strong evidence for a causally informed approach to prevention and the need for health system reform to strengthen primary care is highlighted as a major policy to reduce the toll of this rising epidemic.
