STRENGTHENING NATIONAL HIV PREVENTION AND TREATMENT PROGRAM,AINCREASING ACCESS TO MAT,STRENGTHENING HIV EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM AND IMPLEMENTING LABORATORY QM/QI SYSTEM. - TO ACHIEVE TARGETS 95-95-95 IN UKRAINE, THE EXPANSION OF FOCUSED HIV TESTING WILL BE REQUIRED AS WELL AS TIMELY AND LINKAGE TO INITIATE ANTIRETROVIRAL TREATMENT. HIV PREVENTION, INCLUDING PRE-EXPOSURE PREVENTION (PREP) IS ONE OF THE KEY PRIORITIES FOR THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH OF UKRAINE.EFFECTIVE RESPONSE TO HIV AT NATIONAL COUNTRY LEVEL REQUIRES STRATEGIC INFORMATION THAT IS CONSOLIDATED AND SYSTEMATICALLY COLLECTED, ANALYZED AND APPLIED. DISSEMINATION AND SHARING OF STRATEGIC INFORMATION PROMOTE BOTH UNDERSTANDING OF THE DYNAMICS OF EPIDEMICS AND CONSENSUS ABOUT HOW BEST TO RESPOND TO HIV. ALSO, THE CONSISTENCY AND AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION IS CENTRAL TO THE TRANSPARENCY OF DECISIONS IN THE HEALTH SECTOR, FURTHER STRENGTHENED BY ANALYSIS AND FORMAL REVIEWS OF THESE DATA INVOLVING KEY STAKEHOLDERS.THE OVERALL GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE HIV EPIDEMIC CONTROL BY MEANS OF STRENGTHEN NATIONAL HIV PREVENTION, CASE FINDING AND TREATMENT PROGRAM, IMPROVING UTILIZATION OF HIV STRATEGIC INFORMATION (SI), STRENGTHENING HIV EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS AND IMPLEMENTING A LABORATORY QUALITY MANAGEMENT/QUALITY IMPROVEMENT (QM/QI) SYSTEM.PROJECT GOAL WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH: STRENGTHEN NATIONAL HIV PREVENTION, CASE FINDING AND TREATMENT THROUGH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO REGIONAL AND NATIONAL CENTERS AMONG KPS; DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL POLICY AND REGULATION TO SUPPORT TEST AND START, MAT, LAB, PREVENTION (INCLUDING PREP); ENHANCE NATIONAL MAT FRAMEWORK AND CAPACITY; ENHANCE LABORATORY CAPACITY AND QUALITY; ENHANCE AVAILABILITY, QUALITY AND TIMELINESS OF HIV SURVEILLANCE DATA.ADDITIONALLY, PHC WILL PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO ENSURE INITIALIZATION OF INNOVATIVE RISK NETWORK RECRUITMENT AND CASE MANAGEMENT DELIVERY MODELS WHICH ARE IMPLEMENTED BY PARTNERS ACROSS THE 12 PEPFAR REGIONS. THE PHC TEAM WILL PROVIDE TA TO STRENGTHEN HIV STATISTICAL CAPABILITIES AT THE NATIONAL AND REGIONAL LEVELS. THE PHC WILL CONTINUE LEAD THE REVISION O F HIV SERVICE PACKAGES GUIDELINES, CREATE AN ENABLING POLICY ENVIRONMENT, AND FULLY TRANSITION TO THE HIV MEDICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (MIS) ELECTRONIC DATA ENTRY SYSTEM.

THE PHC WILL CREATE A NATIONAL MAT HUB AND WILL SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MAT MODULE IN HIV MIS AND INTEGRATION INTO E-HEALTH SYSTEMS AND ALSO DEVELOP MAT REGULATORY FRAMEWORK NEEDED FOR SUCCESSFUL MAT EXPANSION. THE PHC IN COOPERATION WITH MINISTRY OF HEALTH (MOOH) WILL LEAD IN LABORATORY NETWORK OPTIMIZATION TO ENSURE UNINTERRUPTED ACCESS TO PROPER QUALITY LABORATORY AND HIV TESTING SERVICES FOR PLHIV AND HIV SURVEILLANCE AT CENTRAL AND REGIONAL LEVELS. THE PHC WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THE COMPETENCIES OF THE LAB WORKFORCE IN MULTIPLE DISEASE TESTING. THE PHC TEAM WILL PROVIDE TA TO STRENGTHEN NATIONAL LEVEL SURVEILLANCE, RESEARCH AND EVALUATION (SRE) IN THE AREA OF HIV/AIDS AND WILL FOCUS ON BUILDING INTERNAL CAPACITY FOR DATA ANALYSIS AND DATA DISSEMINATION.

SUPPORT FOR THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH OF UKRAINE HIV EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE AND LABORATORY QM/QI

SURVEILLANCE AND RESPONSE TO AVIAN AND PANDEMIC INFLUENZA BY NATIONAL HEALTH AUTHORITIES OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES - SINCE 2016, UKRAINE HAS IMPLEMENTED A SENTINEL SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM FOR INFLUENZA LIKE ILLNESS (ILI) AND SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS (SARI) CARRIED OUT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, ADDITIONALLY TO THE ROUTINE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM WHICH IS CARRIED OUT DURING THE INFLUENZA SEASON ONLY (WEEKS 40-20). INFLUENZA SURVEILLANCE IS REGULATED BY THE MOH ORDER ? 1126 DATED 17.05.2019 ?ABOUT APPROVAL THE PROCEDURE FOR EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE OF INFLUENZA AND ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS, AND MEASURES FOR PREPAREDNESS IN THE INTEREPIDEMIC PERIOD AND RESPONSE DURING AN EPIDEMIC SEASON?. THIS ORDER WAS DEVELOPMENT WITH SUPPORT OF WHO COUNTY OFFICE IN UKRAINE AND WAS DISCUSSED WITH WHO EURO AND AGREED UPON.BUT STILL THE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM HAS (1) LIMITED HUMAN RESOURCES AT NATIONAL LEVEL TO PROVIDE INFLUENZA SURVEILLANCE NETWORK, (2) LIMITED CAPACITIES FOR EXPANSION OF WEB BASED ELECTRONIC REPORTING SYSTEM TO THE LEVEL OF SENTINEL SITES, (3) LIMITED HUMAN RESOURCES AT REGIONAL LEVEL TO PROVIDE OUTBREAK PREPAREDNESS.THE PROJECT ?SURVEILLANCE AND RESPONSE TO AVIAN AND PANDEMIC INFLUENZA BY NATIONAL HEALTH AUTHORITIES OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES? PROPOSED BY PUBLIC HEATH CENTER OF THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH OF UKRAINE AIMS TO MAINTENANCE OF NATIONAL INFLUENZA SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM AND STRENGTHEN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL CAPACITY TO DETECT AND RESPOND INFLUENZA EPIDEMICS AND PANDEMICS; SUPPORT COORDINATION AND COMMUNICATION OF THE ANIMAL HUMAN INTERFACE AND FACILITATING THE CAPACITY TO DETECT AND MONITOR NOVEL VIRUSES OCCURRING IN ANIMALS; SUPPORT CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT TO DETECT AND RESPOND TO THE SPREAD OF NON-INFLUENZA RESPIRATORY VIRUSES AND BACTERIA. IT IS ALSO ANTICIPATED TO RESPOND TO A DECLARED PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY OR IDENTIFIED HIGHLY INFECTIOUS DISEASE OUTBREAKS, AS WELL TO STRENGTHEN NATIONAL CAPACITY TO DETECT AND RESPOND INFLUENZA EPIDEMICS AND PANDEMICS.AS OUTCOMES OF THE PROJECT IT ENVISAGED NATIONAL SURVEILLANCE OBJECTIVES ESTABLISHED AND PUBLISHED ; IMPROVED COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MOH AND MOA ANIMAL INFLUENZA OUTBREAKS AND/OR HUMAN CASES OF ZOONOTIC (NOVEL) INFLUENZA VIRUS; COUNTRY OWNERSHIP OF AND SUSTAINABILITY OF INTEGRATED SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM; STRONG, CAPABLE DATA-DRIVEN SURVEILLANCE WORKFORCE; IMPROVED USE OF SURVEILLANCE DATA TO INFORM PUBLIC HEALTH ACTIONS; SUSTAINED ABILITY TO MONITOR THE SEVERITY OF EPIDEMIC AND PANDEMIC INFLUENZA ASSOCIATED ILLNESSES; IMPROVED AWARENESS AND RESPONSE TO ZOONOTIC (NOVEL)INFLUENZA HUMAN INFECTIONS; WELL PREPARED AND ESTABLISHED LABORATORY TESTING AND SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM; DATA AVAILABLE FOR ANALYSIS ON INFLUENZA SEASONALITY AND SEVERITY AND IDENTIFICATION OF NOVEL VIRUSES; IMPROVED INTERNATIONAL CONTRIBUTION OF SPECIMEN DATA USED FOR VACCINE COMPOSITION DECISION-MAKING (VCM); INCREASED CAPACITY TO IDENTIFY NEW AND EMERGING INFLUENZA VIRUSES IN ANIMALS AND HUMANS, AND ABILITY TO IDENTIFY PANDEMIC THREATS.
