Outreach to vulnerable populations in Tandika, Temeke and Azimio is changing how addiction care is delivered.

01

Where the numbers sit

218 PWID actively retained on MAT across Mbagala and Temeke District Hospital — within five clients of the year-one target set at induction.

02

What the team learned

Retention is decided in the first 14 days. The clients ASUTA escorted personally to clinic, day after day, for the first fortnight had double the 90-day retention of clients who self-presented after referral.
