Kenya: 'Express care' by nurses decreases clinic congestion

'Express care', a new model for providing care to people starting antiretroviral therapy in which most of the burden for seeing patients is shifted to nurses, is associated with reduced death rates (by about 50%) and reduced losses to follow-up among people with CD4 cell counts of less than 100 cells/mm3, according to a Kenyan presentation made earlier this month at the International AIDS Conference, in Mexico City.
