The western and central regional HIV/TB medical officer for AIM, Dr. Raymond Byaruhanga, on Friday said each district would get a grant of sh40m in the next financial year.
Speaking at the closing of a one-week training workshop on the case management of STIs at Meliva Guest House in Mbarara, Byaruhanga said the money would go towards training, evaluating and monitoring of health workers.
Byaruhanga said AIM would conduct a similar workshop for Mubende and Kibaale districts this week for effective dissemination of information on updated management of STDs in the entire region.
Rukungiri district health and education secretary Deus Kamanyire handed over certificates of participation to 29 doctors and clinical officers.
Kamanyire criticised doctors and nurses who traumatise and stigmatise AIDS patients.
