Transitioning from paediatric to HIV adult care services for adolescents and young people living with HIV in the African region: a scoping review protocol.
Andrew Sentoogo SsemataNoeline NakasujjaEugene KinyandaPublished in: BMJ open (2022)
The scoping review does not require ethics approval as we will collect and review existing literature and materials. The results will be disseminated through a peer-reviewed publication, conference presentations and stakeholder meetings to support clinicians, health experts and policy makers develop guidelines and evidence-based transition protocols favourable for the populations in the African region to minimise challenges associated with the transition process.
