TREAT Overview

The Regional Antiretroviral Therapy (TREAT) program was a six years antiretroviral therapy scale-up program implemented between Sep 2003 and Sep 2010 at the JCRC. TREAT was implemented as an agreement with the United Stated Agency for International Development (USAID), with the generous assistance from the Presidential Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), of which JCRC is the largest recipient, to date.

The overall goal of the TREAT project was to expand access to quality ART through strengthening the capacity of Ministry of Health sites to deliver quality ART. The program was implemented in the seven RCEs, which worked closely with the regional referral hospitals in their respective locations. In addition to the RCEs, TREAT provided care and treatment in 52 static sites and 25 outreaches across Uganda.
