R6M visit– Finda at the end of her six-monthly R6M consultation at the MSF-supported HIV outpatient department at Matam health centre, Conakry, Guinea

Finda Oulare, 49 years has three children and lives nearby Matam health centre, where MSF provides HIV TB outpatient and ambulatory services. As a member of R6M, she comes to Matam health centre twice a year for a consultation and to collect her ARVs.

Finda was diagnosed with HIV in 2010. She suspects she may have contracted HIV in Luanda, Angola, where she had surgery.

“Every time I take my meds on time, I feel better. R6M helps with this because I don’t have delays in coming to the hospital.”

They also have a yearly VL screening. R6M members significantly reduce costs and time for stable HIV patients, while freeing up health centers for other patients who need more dedicated care.
Patients are eligible for R6M if they met the following criteria: older than 15years, on first line ARVs, no opportunistic infections, VL

How we work

Discover how we deliver medical humanitarian assistance
