The Full Form of VCTC is Voluntary counseling and testing centers.
The number and percent of facilities that provide voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) services meeting minimum conditions necessary to provide quality counseling and HIV testing services
Evaluators take a random sample of facilities and assess the quality of counseling and testing services (including NGOs, private clinics and doctors‘ surgeries). They evaluate structural elements necessary to provide quality counseling and testing services, including trained staff, adequate privacy for counseling, systems for maintaining confidentiality, a directory of services for referral, and adequate conditions for ensuring quality control of specimen tests.
Evaluators may choose to weight the score obtained by each site in the random sample by the annual client load of that site. The indicator is the number of clients served in the last year by sites with adequate conditions to provide quality VCT services, divided by the total number of clients served in the last year by all sites sampled.
