In 2007, with support from USAID through Inter-Religious Council of Uganda (IRCU), IMAU started a project entitled “Community Action for Prevention, Treatment and Care of AIDS (CAPTCA)”. In this project IMAU trained health professionals and community educators to provide prevention, treatment and care services to clients in Wakiso and Kampala districts. This included provision of antiretroviral therapy ( ART). The goal of CAPTCA project is to contribute to lowering the incidence and prevalence of HIV infections and improve the quality of life of people living with HIV AIDS in the targeted districts.
The project is currently supported by CDC through Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) and the Inter-Religious Bureau Coalition. The project is being implemented in areas of Wakiso District within the catchment area of Saidina Abubakar Islamic Hospital. The project involves outreaches support for HIV services in Health Center IIs in the catchment area, as well as community services supported by religious leaders, local council leaders and other community educators. Key targets and achievements of this project in 2020 are shown in the table below:
