Programmes
As a local Zimbabwean Non-Governmental Organization and a longstanding stakeholder, OPHID collaborates with the Ministry of Health and Child Care to enhance access to a comprehensive package of health services. Our focus is on Strengthening Health Systems and Supporting Sustainable Public Health Policies.
Under the Families and Communities for the Elimination of HIV (FACE HIV) program, OPHID’s work over the past 7 years has focused on strengthening the quality of HIV care and treatment services, with the goal of improving the quality of life for all People Living with HIV (PLHIV) in Zimbabwe.
Funded by the European Union, the goal of this project was to reduce young people's risk of teenage pregnancy and contracting HIV through facilitating their access to and uptake of Sexual Reproductive Health and Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) of HIV services at clinics.
With support from PEPFAR through USAID, OPHID leads the TASQC consortium. TASQC partners (OPHID, KAPNEK and ZNNP+) collaborate with the Ministry of Health and Child Care to provide quality HIV, PMTCT of HIV, TB care and treatment services in 15 districts across 4 provinces of Zimbabwe.
The Mbereko + Men project is implemented in partnership with the Macfarlane Burnet Institute in Melbourne, Australia with support from Australian Aid through the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
With an HIV prevalence rate of 16.1% among women attending antenatal care and an unacceptable high maternal mortality ratio (470 per 100,000 live births) there has been an increasing trend of home deliveries in Zimbabwe.
