#MADEINAFRICA
Rasello is proud to have joined forces with the University of California, Berkeley, alongside Health for a Prosperous Nation, to make a better tomorrow by developing an economic incentive program to promote use of HIV services and adherence to HIV treatment. We developed digital models: AFYAII and Rudi Kundini, Pamoja Kundini (RKPK), to rapidly and securely send incentives and text message appointment reminders while accurately tracking health facility staff information. This study is supported by a grant from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH): NIH NIMH R01MH125746-03S1 (SM).
