New Vision (Kampala) - November 30, 2005
Peter Kaujju
Nick Mbuvi, the bank's managing director, said it was important for organisations like Barclays to fight HIV beyond the company to ensure that the society, which gives them business, is healthy.
"It begins by increasing your knowledge on AIDS so as to create a well informed society that is able to act as deterrent to the spread of the disease. The bank is committed to helping alleviate the causes and impact of HIV/AIDS among communities," Mbuvi said at the launch of the week in Kampala on Monday.
He said there is discrimination against workers with confirmed or suspected HIV/AIDS.
