20 HEALTH WORKERS GET AIDS TRAINING IN TORIT
Tuesday, 28 May 2013 15:11 |
Twenty health service providers in Eastern Equatoria state are
undergoing a four-day training to increase their knowledge on HIV
AIDS.

Eastern Equatoria State International HIV AIDS Alliance Programme
manager Oniko Joseph said the training targeted AIDS facility staff,
Emmanuel Radio reported.

He said the training aimed at improving health workers’ services to the youth.

Mr Joseph said the training followed studies which indicated that
young people lacked information about sexual reproductive health and
HIV AIDS.

He said young people also lacked access to reproductive health
services and feared public facilities due to discrimination stigma.

The 20 participants came from Ikwotos, Hiyala, Kudo, Torit State
Hospital and Nyong.

Swedish International Development Agency or SIDA funded the training
that started on Monday.
