Evidence snapshot for Lusaka
Since 2006, Lusaka's University Teaching Hospital has operated a One-Stop Centre co-locating medical, police, psychosocial and legal care for child sexual-abuse and gender-based violence survivors. Between 2006 and 2008, the centre served 2,863 children, and the integrated model significantly improved outcomes—raising HIV post-exposure prophylaxis completion rates from 23% under the previous fragmented system to 52% after the centre opened. This model subsequently became the template for over 30 One-Stop Centres established across Zambia. The evidence reflects outcomes only for this specific health intervention; the practices in the CONTEXT do not provide broader socioeconomic or demographic data about Lusaka as a place.
