Community Quality Improvement Teams; A Vehicle for Improving Retention of Patients on Antiretroviral Treatment: A Case of East Central Uganda

Cognizant of this unexploited contribution, STAR-EC implemented community QI interventions to support health facility care and treatment outcomes between Oct 2013 and Sept 2015.
