HIV Clinical Center of Excellence
A new targetIn January 2007 the Romanian-American Children's Center (CCRA) had 485 patients under care. The
difference between "children with HIV" and "adults infected with HIV
has become increasingly vague, some patients find the Centre transferred
to the adult section of the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Constanta
(SBIC), and others desiring although to be under the care center had reached adulthood. While
some psychosocial services can be transferred to hospital, full
programs of the Center were not available for more than 800 people in
Constanta. This led to the decision to
open services to all HIV-positive patients and to transfer the program
from transferring patients from the Center, a family program with both
adults and children. Dr. Kline said: "I chose to extend the range of services to serve the entire range of ages, from infants to adults. We
will continue to provide medical and psychosocial services for these
individuals, but we will also address issues such as housing and job
qualification, education and issues concerning marriage and family. "To
illustrate this approach larger and more complex, Roman Children's
Center American was renamed the Clinical Center of Excellence in December 2007 Roman. Center
of Excellence is now offering all necessary services under one roof,
including programs on infectious diseases, pulmonary diseases,
gynecology and dental care, psychosocial and vocational counseling,
social work, planning and support groups, and education for a healthy
and independent lives . The center also continue to educate and train health professionals and develop a new research department. Providing
the drugs will be further supported by the Ministry of Health and by
donations from Abbott for all infectious diseases, while the Abbott Fund
and other private donors will support the rest of the program. There
have been many efforts to develop relationships with local authorities
and hospitals to expand programs beyond the results and the central
portal, and to promote this model of care nationally. So who is treated anti-HIV treatment receives a constant quality. The training, educational meetings and debates, and exchanges of good practice were also included in the program.
The transition to the futureBaylor
impact interventions will be sustainable if not accompanied by
prevention, testing and treatment, all provided together and in an
integrated fashion. The provision of education, prevention and treatment of HIV-infected strictly protected in any way the general population. So
Baylor, in partnership with hospitals and county Public Health
Authority (through a special initiative focused on HIV education and
behavior change), supported the establishment of voluntary counseling
and testing for HIV for the general population of two counties. Baylor
has also used the influence of the results and to demonstrate the need
for change in standards of care and promote human rights for those
infected with HIV. In 2008, Baylor
campaniii Romania was involved in local and national fight against HIV
testing and discrimination in employment against discrimination in
health environments. About the activities of the Center of Excellence Learn more at
