ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

Establishment of scholarship program for 10 CUM medical students who will specialize in HIV-AIDS

treatment, prevention, and research during a three-year period.

schools of Beira, secondary schools in Beira and others districts of Sofala Province.

Organize HIV/AIDS prevention activities at the six other UCM faculties where HIV/AIDS nucleus were

established and organize workshops for the continuous formation of HIV/AIDS activists in those faculties.

Continuing activity with updated narrative, target population, and emphasis area.

DOS will expand its program of providing scholarships for medical students specializing in HIV/AIDS

treatment. The aim of this program is to provide educational opportunities for young people in areas with

high HIV prevalence and limited economic opportunities to receive formal medical training with a view to

increasing the critical shortage of physicians available for HIV/AIDS care and treatment. The Medical

School of the Catholic University of Mozambique is located in Beira, Mozambique's second largest city and

area of very high HIV prevalence. Most students benefiting from this program are from high-prevalance,

central Mozambique and some from the northern provinces. As an integral part of their studies, student are

required to do internships in local clinics in Beira or elsewhere in Sofala province, enabling the newly trained

to begin providing services to numbers of PLWHA as rapidly as possible. This funding expands support for

community-based outreach activities and training that students participate in around HIV awareness and

education.
