This year, ACE2 introduced measures to make treatment easier to maintain. Multi-month dispensing allowed clients to collect up to six months of medication at once, reducing the need for frequent clinic visits. Case managers tracked missed appointments within 24 hours, and enhanced adherence counseling was provided during routine visits. These steps helped clients avoid gaps in treatment and stay connected to care.

Between July and September this year, 97 percent of clients remained on antiretroviral therapy, and interruption rates were just 0.6 percent. During the same period last year, interruption rates stood at 2.1 percent. This improvement means fewer missed doses and more consistent access to medication for thousands of clients. In Jigawa, refill completion reached 91 percent in October, showing how timely follow-up and flexible service models support continuity. When treatment is uninterrupted, clients can manage their health more effectively, reducing the risk of complications and hospital visits.
