The Mentorship Programme

The training unit has provided expert assistance in various provinces within South Africa

The training unit has provided expert assistance in various provinces within South Africa through long-distance mentorship programmes for newly established antiretroviral treatment clinics.

In partnership with the Northern Cape Province, the foundation conducted training in a number of antiretroviral treatment sites and is currently involved in a medical education programme in the Eden District of the Southern Cape. This started in 2004 and involved regular trips to Plettenburg Bay, Knysna, George, Mossel Bay and Outshoorn, during which doctors, nurses and counsellors were given on-site training.

The Eden District mentorship programme for 2007 is structured in the form of a series of one-day workshops, covering various aspects of HIV treatment and care.
