In a short period of time, the program expanded its reach in partnership with the Andhra Pradesh State AIDS Control Society (APSACS). Along with this, the Department of Health, Medical, and Family Welfare provided invaluable direction and guidance as the project extended its reach to four additional district health facilities. The extension is aimed to make sure that holistic healthcare access for vulnerable populations particularly HIV+ patients and female sex workers. The pilot project has been successfully implemented across the districts like Anakapalli, Rajahmahendravaram, Aganampudi, Peddaapuram, Madanapalle, and Parvathipuram.

In terms of the reach of this project, a significant milestone has been achieved as the project screened over 3000 beneficiaries, predominantly focusing on HIV+ patients and female sex workers. The outcomes of the screenings included 383 suspected cases being successfully identified and referred for confirmatory diagnostic tests, ensuring timely and accurate assessment. Along with this, 51 individuals were diagnosed with pre-cancerous conditions and received prompt referrals for further treatment. Finally, over 29 cases of malignancy were detected, leading to swift referrals for advanced treatment and care. 

The transformative initiative received generous support from the Rotary Foundation (India) and Aseem Infrastructure Finance Ltd. (an investee company of the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund Limited). This funding played a substantial role in initiating the pilot project across the five healthcare facilities. The success of this endeavour underscores the power of collaboration, invention, and focused interventions in the healthcare field.

Vidadala Rajini said “Our creation of this unique model of care holds the potential to be a blueprint for every state government to follow.
