When KCA first began supporting this small clinic in 2004, no one could have anticipated that it would grow in just six years to serve 400 patients a day. Today, Alive Medical Services (AMS) is a clinic of excellence with its doors always open to anyone in need - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 1 in every 4 people who come to the clinic for testing is found to be HIV-positive, and they have immediate access to comprehensive care. From treatment for opportunistic infections and nutritional support, to early infant diagnosis and family planning, every point of service at AMS is an opportunity to treat and prevent the spread of HIV. Fully believing in the mission and work of Alive Medical Services, Keep a Child Alive continues to support the clinic's development and on-going operations. KCA works closely with Dr. Pasquine Ogunsanya and her team at AMS to engage more local support from the community. The clinic's partnership with Baylor College of Medicine Children's Foundation made it possible for AMS to recently expand its services to an adjacent building that now houses testing and counseling services, the laboratory, pharmacy, kitchen and laundry facilities. Procter & Gamble continues to support AMS through the provision of PUR water purification materials which supplement the clinic's Nutrition Program providing monthly food parcels to 1,400 needy families.
