This funding is channelled to the county through a sub grant managed by the CHMT. With support from PEPFAR through CDC, CHS supports 71 health facilities in Machakos County to implement and expand sustainable high quality HIV services specifically comprehensive HIV prevention, care and treatment with improved yield and retention of patients on treatment.
