TRAINING ON NEW HIV GUIDELINES & CANCER UPDATES.

 

 The Social Services Department conducted a refresher training for the Home Based Caregivers on the new HIV guidelines & Cancer updates:
•HIV Prevention [Male Circumcision; Condoms; Pre Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)]
•HIV treatment [Anti Retroviral Treatment (ART); Adherence to treatment; Disclosure of HIV status]
•Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT)
•Cancer updates [to include the recently launched Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine for girls aged 9-14) ]

The training was meant to address some of the current training needs and empower our caregivers with up to date & accurate information on these key issues. This will make them more effective as they carry out their important work. We are grateful for their hard work & commitment shown.

The facilitators were from the Ministry of Health & her partners; and NERCHA. The Municipality is most grateful for their willingness to support our training.
