Changes in Programing
Salud Juntos (SJ) has been working in the Department of Yoro, Honduras for the past FIVE years to develop sustainable public health services that prevent, manage, and treat chronic conditions including hypertension and diabetes. SJ is made up of collaborators from the United States and Honduras including health professionals, community leaders, community health workers (CHWs), educators, and students. SJ creates sustainable public health and clinical programs, using the Chronic Care Model and demonstrated best practices. Programs are targeted to chronic disease prevention and/or management. They are planned and implemented to optimize the allocation and integration of resources (volunteer, consultative, monetary and in-kind) needed to meet each of their own the goals and objectives, while recognizing SJs constraints (scope, time, and budget.) Currently, SJ has community programming that is premised around a CHW model that addresses hypertension, diabetes, dental health, and asthma. SJ makes every attempt to disseminate their findings so that others might benefit.Previously, SJ based much of its programming in Honduras on the direct involvement of health professionals, care providers, and students from the US. However, due to mounting safety concerns in Honduras SJ has discontinued volunteer experiences in Honduras since July 2011. Salud Juntos now focuses on supporting, training, and funding paid staff (currently three staff members) in Honduras to achieve its programmatic goals. In addition, Salud Juntos also supports a board of Honduran advisors that help to oversee programming, employees, and operations in Honduras. Currently, all SJ participants in the United States work on a volunteer basis on fiduciary, programmatic, and fundraising details. One of the primary foci of SJs programming is treating and preventing chronic/non-communicable diseases. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. In developing countries in particular, NCDs place an immense burden on already strained local and national health systems, which are not equipped to handle this epidemic. The NGO Salud Juntos encountered the burden of NCDs in rural Honduras, and in response to the request of the community developed and implemented a community-administered and fiscally sustainable hypertension management group (HTN-G). This group, which has been evaluated and expanded over the last two years to three Honduran communities, is a model of non-communicable disease management which can be implemented throughout Latin America and other resource limited settings to address the NCD epidemic. In Honduras, though the national Secretary of Health System (Secretaria de Salud- SdS) provides medications to rural health outposts for NCDs, it is only in sporadic supply and without clear protocols for its use clinically. Upon request of the rural community of Punta Ocote, Yoro, Salud Juntos helped to design and implement a community-administered and fiscally sustainable hypertension management group to run in conjunction with the local SdS clinic. The HTN-G, which began in March 2010, provides medications, clinical care, education, and treatment-by-protocol to 75 members for a monthly cost of $2.60 USD per member. At monthly meetings, community health workers record blood pressures (BPs), adherence (prescribed medications taken on HTN-G meeting day), current medications, and demographic and behavioral measures using a modified World Health Organization STEPwise Approach to Surveillance Survey (5).Evaluation of the group data from March 2010 to August 2011 found significant improvements in mean blood pressure, HTN control, and self-reported adherence. It was found that mean blood pressure decreased from the initial (156.7/87.6) to the final (127.8/79.6) meeting. Also, member self-reported medication adherence increased 17%, while the portion of members with controlled HTN increased from 18% (10/57) to 76% (19/25). While attendance dropped from 75 to 42 participants over the 18 month period, the improvements in medication adherence and BP levels display the promise of the HTN-G model. The fact that the HTN-G has been in existence for more than two years now, and spread to two other communities is a testament itself to its structure and potential. Ongoing evaluation of the HTN-G as it expands will enable further investigation of scale ability and proper role in health systems in Honduras and other low resource settings. SJs other programs for diabetes, under-nutrition, dental care, and asthma all follow a similar model of development, maintenance and evaluation as the HTN-G program.Additionally, SJ has begun working in collaboration with the NGO AMOS Health, in Nicaragua. SJ was approached by Laura Parajon, MD of AMOS International about replicating the HTN G project in rural Nicaragua. AMOS is a non profit based in Nicaragua with a network of 27 rural community clinics run and managed by local community health workers using the strategy of community based primary health care (CBPHC). CBPHC is defined as appropriate and effective health care with an emphasis on community organization to improve the health of communities. The situation in rural Nicaragua is similar to that found in Honduras as many persons have uncontrolled hypertension due to frequent shortages of medication. Representatives of SJ visited AMOS in Nicaragua in August 2012 and began assisting them in laying the groundwork for evaluation of NCD burden and implementation of a group similar to the HTN-G in rural Nicaragua.
