SYMMACS South Africa• SYstematic Monitoring of the voluntary Medical Male Circumcision Scale-up in Eastern and
Southern Africa
• Objective: Assess implementation of VMMC under actual field conditions in four countries, including South Africa. Monitor adoption of WHO six elements of efficiency. Assess quality and safety during scale-up.
• Methods: Data were collected using three instruments during clinicians 2-day visits to sites:
Abbreviated version of the WHO Quality Assessment of facilities (WHO, 2009)
Observation and timing of VMMC procedures
Interviews with providers and site managers
• Sample:
Any site operational in 2011: N = 15 Sample from more than 80 operational sites in 2012: n = 40
Same 15 sites sampled in 2011 and 2012 (repeat sites); 25 new sites in 2012, with a
total of 40 sites (expanded sites)
*Significant differences refer to p values < 0.05
