Free HIV Care Services at Herona Community Hospital: Compassion, Treatment, and Hope for Everyone

Herona Community Hospital is committed to building a healthier, empowered, and stigma-free community. Through its Free HIV Care Services, the hospital ensures that individuals living with or affected by HIV receive the treatment, support, and dignity they deserve—at no cost.

From the beginning, the program was established to remove financial and social barriers that prevent people from accessing life-saving care. Today, it stands as one of the hospital’s strongest pillars of community health and support.

Comprehensive, Confidential, and Free Care

Herona Community Hospital provides a full package of HIV services, including:

• Free HIV testing and counseling (HTS)

• Free antiretroviral therapy (ART)

• Viral load monitoring and laboratory follow-up

• Prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT)

• Treatment for opportunistic infections

• Adherence counseling and psychosocial support

• Youth-friendly and family-focused HIV care

Every service is delivered in a respectful, confidential environment where patients feel safe, supported, and valued.

A Dedicated Team That Cares

Behind the success of the HIV program is a committed team of clinicians, counselors, nurses, pharmacists, and community health workers who walk with every patient on their treatment journey. Their approach goes beyond medicine—they offer guidance, encouragement, and continuous follow-up to ensure long-term wellness.

The team works closely with community groups, schools, and local leaders to promote awareness, fight stigma, and encourage early testing and treatment.

Changing Lives, Strengthening Communities

The impact of the free HIV care services is seen in the many lives restored to health—parents who can work again, young people staying focused on their dreams, and children born HIV-free through early intervention and consistent care.

By providing uninterrupted access to HIV medication and support, Herona Community Hospital is helping reduce new infections, improve quality of life, and bring hope to countless families across Kisoga and beyond.
