Objectives / Objectifs
Daily, the Care and Treatment Centre (CTC) refers children who are newly diagnosed with HIV/AIDS to the CLWHA program. Today there are over 90 children of all ages in the program. The CLWHA program has been developed to support these children through the assistance of home based care (HBC)workers, specially trained in HIV/AIDS, who monitor the children closely in their home environments. Children and caregivers alike are taught about adherence to medication and its importance, as well as general awareness of HIV and strategies for living positively.
