I-TECH India team at World AIDS Day Celebration 2023 in Guwahati, Assam
I-TECH India participated in the World AIDS Day (WAD) celebration on 1st December 2023 at a national event organized by the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) in Guwahati, Assam. The theme for the year “Let Communities Lead” focused on community ownership, to raise awareness about the challenges and to mobilize all stakeholders to jointly redouble efforts to ensure the success of the HIV response and achieve the goal of ending AIDS by 2030.
I-TECH India provided support to develop resource materials and technical documents for patient literacy and awareness viz (a) Frequently asked questions on HIV Treatment (available in English and Hindi); (b) Job aid on Administration of Paediatric ARV medicine with DTG-10 mg (available in English and Hindi); and (c) Handbook for HIV and STI Counsellors working under NACP; which were disseminated during the event and were well received by different stakeholders and community participants. I-TECH India also supported NACO in creating informative posters highlighting key insights and data achievements, contributing to a better understanding of the current HIV landscape. Our team showcased the National Data Hub presenting a brief on critical information about the program to the Minister of State.
