3:00 - 4:30pm [CAT]
This webinar examines how countries can strengthen the systems needed to introduce, deliver, and sustain new HIV prevention products at scale. The discussion will explore what is required to introduce new prevention products through nationally led pathways within public health systems, rather than through fragmented or pilot - driven approaches that can limit scale and sustainability. It will also consider how digital health interventions and artificial intelligence can support reach, efficiency, and service delivery as new products emerge. Across these themes, the session will focus on the essential foundations needed for product scale - up, including government leadership, regulation, workforce capacity, supply chains, data systems, and delivery platforms.
