Description:
As strides are made in the prevention and treatment of HIV, it is important to take advantage of opportunities to expand and integrate reproductive health services. Integration is an approach that uses a client visit as an opportunity to address other health and social needs beyond those that prompted the current health visit. This tactic combines services at one site and/or enhances linkages between additional health service delivery points. In addition to benefiting the client’s overall health and well-being, integration may also have programmatic and cost benefits when multiple services are provided during one visit or at one facility.
