Community Care Centers (CCC)
| |
| Community Care Centers (CCC) play a critical role in providing treatment, care and support to people living with HIV/AIDs (PLHIV). CCCs are linked with ART Centers and ensure that PLHIV are provided (a) counseling for ARV treatment preparedness and drug adherence, nutrition and prevention (b) treatment of Opportunistic Infections (c) referral and outreach services for follow up and (d) social support services. These Centers are mandated to seek better community and family response towards PLHIV through family counseling. For better treatment outcome, the centers provide families of PLHIV counseling on the patient’s nutritional needs, treatment adherence and psychological support. These centers are run by NGOs selected through a vigorous selection process. Presently there are 30 CCCs operational in Tamilnadu. |
