ICEHA's Programs
Clinical Mentorship Program
Local Partner Organization
The Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative
Ethiopia Federal Ministry of Health
Program Overview
This project supports the Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health's efforts to expand access to adult and pediatric care and treatment to the more than 223,000 adults and 63,000 children estimated to be in need of antiretroviral treatment (ART). Currently the dearth of human resources is one of the greatest constraints to rapidly scale up HIV/AIDS care and treatment. To meet the current and growing demand for services, health care workers across the country must be quickly and effectively trained to care for people living with HIV/AIDS. While local caregivers have received didactic training in HIV care, ICEHA clinical mentors will help them to translate theoretical knowledge into practical clinical skills.
