2. Introduction
HIV Epidemic in Cote d’Ivoire :
Generalized, one of the highest in West Africa
HIV prevalence: 3,7 % DHS 2012
Level of decentralization: 3 levels
– Central : reference hospital: 2; 1 Military hospital;
1 private hospital
– Regional hospital
– Peripheral levels,
# sites offer care and treatment: 538
# of sites offer PMTCT: 987
# people currently on ART: 109 926
5. 1-Patient Monitoring Systems
Used 1/2
• In 2006, the PMS tools were adapted to the Cote d’Ivoire context, pilot-
tested and rolled-out nationally
• The EMR (called SIGDEP) was developed in 2009 and used in facilities
with more than 100 patients on ART
To align with MOH guidelines on service integration, and meet donor
requirements and global guidelines for service integration, in 2011, the
PMS was revamped into the 3ILPMS, pilot-test and implemented since
March 2012
The specific WHO 3ILPMS tools that were adapted are the
following : Patient Card : dossier du patient, Pre ART register, ART
Register, Maternal adapted card, ANC Integrated Register, Labor and
delivery Register, Post Natal Integrated Register, Exposed Infant Card,
Integrated Monthly Report, Cohort Analysis Report
The roll-out of the 3ILPMS is going well, the main constraint is lack of
funds for data collection tools printing
6. 1-Patient Monitoring Systems Used
2/2
Both the paper-based system and electron system
(SIGDEP) are in use in Cote d’Ivoire depending on the
level of the facility
The system has been implemented country-wide, and
most of the partners used this national system
The reporting component includes the cross sectional and
cohort analysis report, the EMR can generate the same
reports
HIV data are integrated in the broader HMIS system at the
district level with an other software SIGVISION

10. 3- Strengths and Challenges
Strengths
CI HIV system is integrated to the HMIS
Acceptance and use by all stakeholders
New guidelines and procedures have been developed
Weaknesses
The are a lot of tools; high data collection burden reported by
service providers
SIGDEP covers only 222 HIV Care & Treatment sites out of 538 in
the entire country
The system requires dedicated data managers for all the sites
The challenge of integration into HMIS is the functionality of
SIGVISION, the alterative choice of the MOH is the
implementation of DHIS-2
11. 4-Future for your country:
update/change needed
What are the main things (or more) You country will
need to update/ change/delete in your system
following release of new WHO ARV guidance
to reduce indicators and tools or determine the
minimum tools for the HIV patients management
12. 5-Future for WHO guideline:
update/change needed
What do you think WHO needs to update/change for
its new PM guidance ?
Operations Manual should provide guidance on the
process of country adaptation (e.g. how to go about it,
what other countries in region have already done,
resources available)
