Projects Overview

HIVSA has provided varied support to the communities it serves and has also developed a number of education and training programmes to support the people who provide services within the district health system.

HIVSA will upscale its assistance to the Department of Health in all provinces by providing training, developing mentorship and supervisory skills, and supporting the new primary health care re-engineering process.

With HIV services now being integrated into the broader health system, HIVSA is looking at innovative ways of providing information on mother and child health, as well as chronic illnesses that impact on our communities at primary health care level.
