Album: HAART and Harvest

AMPATH provides food support to its most vulnerable patients and their dependents. All new patients entering AMPATH are screened by a nutritionist and those found to be food insecure are provided with a nutrition prescription assuring access to 100% of daily nutrition requirements. Food support covers the index patient and all dependents “eating from the same pot”. This period of intensive feeding lasts for six months i.e. during the patient’s initial period of antiretroviral drug treatment and immune reconstitution.
