New Vision (Kampala) - January 27, 2004
Arthur Kintu
The Kassanda Health Centre clinical officer, Bbosa Nakabale, made the appeal at the closure of the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) of HIV/AIDS training workshop at Enro Hotel in Mityana recently.
Nakabale was speaking on behalf of 38 health workers from Mubende, Kibaale, Pallisa, Ntungamo and Rukungiri districts who had just completed the training in integrating PMTCT in ante-natal care, labour delivery and post-natal care.
The AIDS Integrated Model programme facilitated the course.
She said the districts were also facing irregular supply of HIV testing kit and anti-retroviral drugs.
Mubende AIM coordinator Fred Kagwire said out of the 18 health facilities represented at the workshop, only five were implementing the PMTCT programme.
