背景资料：增加对发展中国家全球人体免疫机能丧失病毒预防和控制的供资，对实现长期全球卫生目标既是挑战，也是机会。本文介绍了津巴布韦的一个方案，该方案旨在通过加强一个关键的基于能力的培训机构和培养公共卫生领导人，更有效地应对艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行病。该方案利用新的艾滋病毒/艾滋病方案专用资金，利用当地教育机构的资产，加强和扩大津巴布韦一般公共卫生领导能力，结果：该方案既增加了毕业生人数，也增加了教师的保留率。艾滋病毒/艾滋病课程的扩大，与艾滋病毒有关的受训人员项目大幅增加。公共卫生专业人员人数的增加，使一些经过实际培训的人在卫生部担任公共卫生领导职务，包括在艾滋病毒/艾滋病方案中。
Background: Increased funding for global human immunodeficiency virus prevention and control in developing countries has created both a challenge and an opportunity for achieving long-term global health goals. This paper describes a programme in Zimbabwe aimed at responding more effectively to the HIV/AIDS epidemic by reinforcing a critical competence-based training institution and producing public health leaders.Methods: The programme used new HIV/AIDS programme-specific funds to build on the assets of a local education institution to strengthen and expand the general public health leadership capacity in Zimbabwe, simultaneously ensuring that they were trained in HIV interventions.Results: The programme increased both numbers of graduates and retention of faculty. The expanded HIV/AIDS curriculum was associated with a substantial increase in trainee projects related to HIV. The increased number of public health professionals has led to a number of practically trained persons working in public health leadership positions in the ministry, including in HIV/AIDS programmes.Conclusion: Investment of a modest proportion of new HIV/AIDS resources in targeted public health leadership training programmes can assist in building capacity to lead and manage national HIV and other public health programmes.
