APHIAPlus Nyanza/ Western (APHIAplus Nyanza)

USAID/Kenya supported an integrated service delivery model to improve the health of Kenyans across the country. The AIDS, Population and Health Integrated Assistance Program, also known as APHIAPlus, combined family planning, maternal/child health, malaria, nutrition, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment services to provide an integrated, high-quality, equitable approach to sustainable services at the national, county, and community levels. Integrating these activities through one program provided more effective communication and coordination with county health administrators. Seamless services and technical support at the local level ensure health workers addressed the unique needs of each geographic area across the country.
