Solthis Therapeutic Solidarity and Initiatives for Health

Health is a right
Having access to it is vital

CAPACITY BUILDING

Since its creation, Solthis has adopted the principle of non-substitution as a founding element of its intervention strategy. Our organisation intervenes in support of existing public structures and local stakeholders, building their skills and functioning so that health services can be accessible, of good quality, efficient and fair for all populations.

Solthis’ strategy is rooted in the following definition: “capacity building is a long-term process which improves the ability of an individual, a group, an organisation or an ecosystem to generate positive change and perform better to improve public health results” (Management Sciences for Health, Challenges encountered in capacity building, April 2010).

Solthis distinguishes between three levels of capacity building: individual, structural and national.

Solthis includes 4 types of support in its strengthening strategy: the skills of health professionals, material assets in their workplaces, as well as the organisation of services and the coordination of stakeholders.

Solthis helps to strengthen health systems by accompanying the empowerment of medical care professionals. It is about enabling them to have all the necessary elements such as training and equipment when implementing their actions.Etienne GUILLARD, Director of Health Systems and Services Strengthening.

Our strategy of capacity building among local stakeholders of health services and systems

Our priorities

To accompany and shape human resource in health:

  • healthcare teams
  • pharmacists and members of the pharmaceutical system
  • laboratory technicians
  • professionals in charge of health information system
  • staff from regional and national Ministry of Health senior management

Improving the organisation of healthcare circuits, input supply and swab testing as well as the coordination between different health services and players in health policy.

An established methodology of capacity building and change accompaniment

Solthis’ methodology, which is defined in its Capacity Building Manual, proposes an intervention consisting of 4 stages:

  1. Analyse and plan actions around developing skills by carrying out an assessment and determining objectives to improve quality
  • Examine existing capacities: there are pre-existing skills in all cases of intervention and it is more effective to build upon those that already exist. We use a participative approach to identify needs, thus promoting ownership by stakeholders.
  • Collectively construct a proposition of intervention: this involves planning and setting objectives to be met by favouring methods allowing care teams to take ownership.
  1. Put in place collectively the selected actions of capacity building, improving organisation and the material working conditions
  2. Monitor results: follow changes being put in place, and analyse the evolution of care data and quality indicators
  3. Evaluate the impact of the changes on improving quality of care to decide whether to adopt, adapt or abandon the actions tested

In order to improve change management results, Solthis has adopted a structured support approach for treatment sites. This is inspired by the Quality Improvement Initiative (QII) of developed countries in the area of hospital management which has been adapted to the context of developing countries.

Our actions on the ground

Health policy support

  • Support, advice and expertise from decision-makers (Ministry of Health, regional directors and technical groups)
  • Influencing/Improving national norms and procedures, input supply and biological

Organisational consulting

  • Change management in health structures
  • Organisational advice for improving patient circuits, input supply, biological samples; helping the distribution of tasks and improving communication within teams.

Improving infrastructures

  • Material conditions: helping to purchase equipment
  • Infrastructure: restoration and planning

Strengthening skills

The substantive work undertaken by Solthis on the improvement of their educational methods has revealed the importance of post-training follow-up and continuous support between training in order to obtain a real change of practices among care staff.

Our approach consists of identifying training needs, defining these needs, then proposing an individual training plan adapted to the needs of each individual with:

  • Training for trainers of national partners
  • Classroom training on medical care: initial training and refresher classes.
  • Regular locally-based clinical guidance training among nursing teams
  • Training leading to a qualification, Internet and organising south-south work placements in library reference services

Interactive training modules adapted to countries’ realities:

  • Screening and advise on nursing staff’s initiative
  • Prevention of mother-to-child transmission
  • Medical care of adults living with HIV
  • Medical care of children exposed to and infected by HIV
  • Psychological care of adults living with HIV
  • Clinical guidance
  • Formative supervision

Pedagogical films on interpersonal skills and expertise to allow staff undergoing training on providing advice and support services to improve their attitude, effective communication and the quality of the information that they relay.

Pedagogical games

  • Card games on HIV therapy

Technical datasheets & decision support tools

  • Technical datasheets of products and machines
  • Diagnostic support tools for opportunistic infections
  • Biological, immunological and virological monitoring support tools
  • Measurement of viral load: transportation of samples, manual extraction guide
  • Updating quantification tools and supply of stock, accompanied by utilisation manuals

On the occasion of its General Assembly, Solthis held Wednesday, July 6 at the Pitié-Salpêtrière, the 4th day meeting. Teams Solthis and partners in the field were present, especially from Mali, Guinea, Niger and Haiti. The presentations are available below on this page.
    HIV testing: a challenge?
Y. Yazdanpanah, F. Huber, R. Tubiana, M. Idé

Y. Yazdanpanah, F. Huber, R. Tubiana, M. Idé

At the "Test and Treat", screening is an important theme in African contexts, as in Western countries. Also, the first workshop of the Scientific Day Solthis it was dedicated, moderated by Dr. M. Ide (Niger) and Dr. R. Tubiana (Paris). In his introduction, Dr. F. Huber (Solthis) presented the technical aspects of "rapid tests" raising the question of the limits of these tests, and the problem of lack of due process and the frequent inability to meet the temperature conditions recommended by the suppliers. This presentation was followed by a review of different screening strategies and the historical evolution of paradigms: the screening called "voluntary" to "provider-initiated testing for carers" as advocated by WHO and the various authorities health. Aspects of "cost effectiveness" of screening were then analyzed by Prof. Y. Yazdanpanah (Tourcoing). Dr. F. Lamontagne (Solthis Guinea) and Prof. M. Cisse (Guinea) have supported these statements by the West African experiences Solthis on screening in the care environment "opt out". If this type of screening "at the initiative of the caregiver" has made great advances in PMTCT or in tuberculosis centers, much remains to be done in other departments of medicine, where a high proportion of patients is not detected, not supported. Mobilization on this issue is more strategic than ever.

ARV supply and Stock-outs
Z. Ankourao (Niger)

Z. Ankourao (Niger)

Despite the investment of Solthis on supply issues (ARV, all health products ...), stock-outs, especially for ARVs, are still common in the field and directly threaten the health of patients. The session dedicated to these issues was conducted by two doctors Dr. B. Diallo (Mali) and Dr. PM Girard (Paris). E. Guillard (Solthis Pharmacy Manager) said the overall functioning of the supply before presenting the main causes that lead to situations of stockouts. The threat of disruption of Guinea in February 2011 was taken as an example to highlight the failures at different levels of decision making. Teams in the field of pharmacy Solthis and their partners then described their daily actions, emphasizing the mode of intervention or Solthis tools developed together, such as coordinating groups and committees for monitoring supplies, tables edge compilation, analysis, alerting, quantification tools ... Finally, J. Langlois (Sidaction) and F. Foguito (TAW), representing civil society, concluded the session by the role of associations to fight against breakage, and more widely to improve the quality of care.  

News in virology
Prof. V. Calvez (Pitié-Salpêtrière, Paris) presented the situation of primary resistance throughout the world, before recalling the consequences attributable to virological choice of first-line treatments. He raised the problem of low genetic barrier of molecules commonly used in countries with limited resources (especially NNRTIs), especially when access to viral load is small or nonexistent.

Maintaining in the circuit of care
This session, moderated by Prof. M. Cisse (Guinea) and Dr. G. Breton (Paris), addressed the issue of retention of patient care in the circuit, through various initiatives. After a general introduction of G. Lurton (Solthis), Dr. M. Ide (National Hospital of Niamey) lamented the difficulties of long-term monitoring of HIV patients in Niger, based on the experiences of ambulatory treatment center and day hospital in Niamey. The experience of Medecins du Monde, supporting marginalized populations in integrated centers in Asia, was reported by Dr. N. Luhman. Finally, Dr. Claude Pean, Haitian Institute Pereo Fame, introduced the operation of the center of Port-au-Prince, who has built an international program based on improving the encrypted performance.

  Proceedings of the Round Table What future for international funding of HIV programs?
Table ronde Journée scientifique juin 2009
In the current economic crisis and crisis funding, SOLTHIS wanted to set up a reflection on this vast subject. The roundtable, chaired by Professor Gilles Brucker, gave rise to two questions, firstly that of continuous funding for the fight against HIV and the effectiveness of such funding. This debate was thus the occasion for Prof. Patrice Debré, new Ambassador in charge of the fight against HIV AIDS, to outline the challenges and the strategy it intends to introduce. Dr. Florence Veber, Assistant Director for Health and Human Development (MFA) has expressed his current thinking on innovative financing and recalled in place of the fight against HIV in health policy. Representatives of civil society were also at the table. Marie-Alexia Delerue, of Action for Global Health, called for a mobilization of governments for development of new sources of funding in addition to their official development assistance. As for Khalil Elouardighi, Coalition of More, he warned of the serious short-term decline in funding from the Global Fund, particularly for patients néceisstant treatment of second and third line.

Prof. Patrice Debré: Patients and international partnerships
Prof. Patrice Debré is the new Ambassador in charge of the fight against HIV / AIDS and infectious diseases. There is also a co-founder of Solthis.
Professor Debre presented the characteristics of the epidemic: 33 million people infected with HIV, 2.7 million new infections per year, two million deaths 75% in Saharan Africa. A disease that affects both women that man ... In countries é low or middle income, the access to ARVs is limited: only 31% of global demand for ARVs are covered. .. HIV was the illness that led to the concept of "Global Health" to emerge, this awareness of global health has led to considerable social and political commitments for which new resources and new funds were needed . Then, the Ambassador outlined the contribution e franéaise the fight against pandemics based financing channels in 2007: - For HIV: 363 million euros, 20 million for bilateral (AFD, Esther, ... AT MFA) and 26 million for Research (ANRS, IRD, CNRS ...). - For malaria: 100 million for multilateral and bilateral for zero. - For TB: 31 million for multilateral and bilateral 3 million for. Finally, Professor Debré expressed challenges in the fight against HIV at international level: 1. Harmonization of the Governance of International Health 2. Cooperation among the multilateral organizations 3. Complementarity between the bilateral and the multilateral 4. European dimension 5. Support in general 6. Integrated approach between basic and clinical research, opening e other areas such as agronomy 7. Multiplication of innovative financing

Dr. Florence Veber
Dr. Florence Veber is currently in charge of the Sub-Directorate of Health and Human Development of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European.
Dr. Florence Veber presented the new organizational structure of Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European set up to be in phase with the emergence of global issues like climate change or pandemics. She outlined the three main directions: 1. Administrative direction 2. Diplomatic lead (geographical division) 3. Overall direction of globalization development, partnerships and development. This new direction is divided into four sub-directorates including the Directorate of global public goods including climate, natural resources (forests and water), food security and health and human development. Led by Dr. Veber, this sub-directorate deals with issues of health but also education, employability, gender equality, migration, demography and social protection. To date, this sub-department is particularly sought for the monitoring of commitments in the multilateral franéais since 75% of the budget of the health cooperation through multilateral channels. She is in charge of policy definitions, the Operational being managed by AFD (Franéaise Development Agency). Moreover, the strategy of cooperation policy for health should be reviewed to the end of 2009 with the participation of stakeholders. This new team wants to offer stakeholders greater access and transparency to the data field to promote shared approaches among other NGOs and the Ministry. Dr. Veber has shared his thoughts of two topics: 1. Consequences of funding for HIV / AIDS on strengthening health systems? 2. Efficiency and use of innovative financing in health?

Marie-Alexia Delerue: Health Care Financing
Marie-Alexia Delerue is responsible for advocacy at Medecins du Monde, a member of the NGO network European Action for Global Health.
Marie-Alexia Delerue presented the evolution of financing Development assistance for health: - International: 4-fold increase between 1990 and 2007; - At European level: 58% increase from 2001 e 2007; - In France: 4-fold increase between 2000 and 2007; - Sources: Public sources of funds, but increasingly the private / philanthropic (26.7% of total international aid health in 2007); - Channels: increased multilateral channel (GFATM, GAVI). If this international movement, ed through increased international funding, has achieved considerable progress in terms of health (reduction of child mortality, increasing the number of patients having access to ARVs ...), we find that health issues in the South are immense: the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), who increased the least are those for e health. Funding and predictability are still insufficient. In the current economic crisis, health indicators are threatened. The WB report on the global crisis provides that if any international response is urgently adopted to support developing countries, approximately 200 000 e 400 000 children under 5 years and more will lose their lives each year. It is therefore fondammental that donors meet their financial commitments in favor of health. Today, NGOs are calling on international donors and governments in the South: - Putting health at the heart of development policies (for developing countries, have 15% of their health budget e) - Respect the commitments made by donors in the framework of the G8 - Promote the strengthening of health systems - Develop new funding sources, including quickly implement the tax on currency transactions, which could bring in $ 40 billion by annnée and would therefore make a real difference in terms of scale of development finance and accelerate the progress of health indicators. Innovative financing must be additional e the official development assistance and truly predictable.

Dr. Diallo Sanata - December 2008

 
Solthis, in partnership with the Respasi (African Network of Practitioners Providing the Medical Management of People Living with HIV AIDS), held a symposium on satellite support transfronalière of phas in Africa. Indeed, more and more patients living with HIV / AIDS are required to travel within Africa. These movements can compromise the quality of their support for issues related to harmonization of the provision of care, equity of access to care, monitoring and tracking of patients and the vulnerability of these patients.
