St. Vincent and the Grenadines: Caribbean Region HIV and AIDS Service Provision Assessment Survey 2005

The HIV/AIDS Service Provision Assessment (HSPA) was developed to assess the quality and capacity of HIV and AIDS-related services in high prevalent situations. Focusing on the formal public health sector in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the HSPA findings provides information on both basic and advanced-level HIV and AIDS services and the availability of record-keeping systems for monitoring HIV and AIDS care and support. Within the Caribbean region, there is a concern for the recent training of health professionals who provide HIV and AIDS services, for health worker attitudes towards people living with HIV and AIDS and for patient movement within the region. The St. Vincent and the Grenadines HSPA captured information on these region specific indicators in addition to the standard HSPA indicators. [from author]
