This partnership improved medical school education, health care delivery, and research to more effectively manage HIV/AIDS in urban and rural Kenya. The partnership created AMPATH, a working model program of HIV prevention and treatment programs at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya, and at its nearby Mosoriot Rural Health Center. AMPATH, Kenya’s largest treatment program, established voluntary counseling and testing sites and health promotion programs in eight rural communities. It set up a reference laboratory at Moi University Teaching and Referral Hospital and instituted teaching programs for more than 300 physicians, clinical officers, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, community health workers, and traditional birth attendants.

AMPATH also launched a research program that developed sub-Saharan Africa’s first ambulatory electronic medical record system to capture high-quality data to guide care and drive research.
