INTRODUCTION TO NIMART

• Nurse Initiated Management of Antiretroviral Therapy (NIMART) has been developed to improve the health and survival of people living with HIV (PLHIV).
• It does this by equipping Registered Professional Nurses (RPNs) with the knowledge, attitudes and skills to initiate and manage clients on anti-retroviral therapy (ART).
• Nurse prescribing is governed by section 56(6) of the Nursing Act, 2005.
• The Act requires that RPNs practice within the scope of practice and be authorised to prescribe selected medications following competency-based education and training.
