Strong, inclusive, integrated health systems that reach all are crucial for ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. The Joint Programme worked with governments to include HIV service elements––such as peer educators, community outreach and point-of-care laboratory systems––into primary health care systems and universal health coverage.
In addition, the Joint Programme contributed to broader health system strengthening programmes, including through technical advice and operational support for human resources, health benefit packages and improving community engagement. This also involved promoting uptake of innovations such as digital systems for health at the primary health care level.
