Improvements are needed in health services, such as increased or flexible clinic hours, to reduce wait times and to encourage ART initiation. Interviews with people living with HIV eligible for ART who refused ART found that "the problem is…services….The process is so long" (Musheke et al., 2013a: 236). In addition, waiting to access ART jeopardizes livelihoods. Information systems that can track patients across sites can assist in tracking patients who need care.
