The activities of this project will support the HIV/AIDS national strategy and plan through strengthening infection control measures as a key TB/HIV collaborative activity at national level.

This project will operate at national level supporting directly or indirectly all health facilities in the country on infection control activities. The key contributions of this program to health systems strengthening are based in supporting the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare in policy and strategic planning on infection control, implementation of renovations, training and other technical support in targeted facilities to improve provision of health services and strengthening prevention of exposure to blood and airborne diseases for both patients and staff.
