Thomas Ellman, speaking at the 2018 Goalkeepers event introduced by Bill Gates, discussed innovations in HIV care delivery. He described the development of community anti-retroviral treatment groups (CAGs) in Tete, an approach he called "differentiated care" that involves listening to patients and adapting services to their needs. Ellman noted that this model has been adopted by various organizations and governments, and he emphasized that "one size doesn't fit all" in treatment approaches. Ellman stated that HIV funding had fallen in the two years prior to 2018 to levels not seen since 2010, and he raised concerns about countries outside the 13 focused on by PEPFAR potentially being left behind. He called for more funding, better-paid front-line health workers, and investment in peer leadership and community activism, asserting that "meeting the Global Goals will depend on action by these empowered communities."
