HIV care for children and adolescents in Malawi

In Nsanje district, Malawi, MSF supports the severely underfunded district management team in running a fully decentralised HIV and tuberculosis (TB) programme that includes infants newly diagnosed with HIV.

For 18 years, MSF has been working in partnership with the health ministry to support HIV patients in Chiradzulu.
