IDI held a workshop with participants from the first enrollment of the Dolphin 2 study to share findings on the effectiveness of Dolutegravir vs Efavirenz in reducing virus levels in the blood. This is made possible with support from Unitaid, University of Liverpool, Radboudumc & LSTM

Our GHS team handed over medical equipment & refurbished microbiology lab at Lira Regional Referral Hospital, funded by Department of Health and Social Care and Mott MacDonald through The Fleming Fund.
The lab will support the diagnosis of infections and #AMR surveillance.

It was a special day for us as a health sector as we launched the first ever #NationalCommunityHealthStrategy today. When communities are empowered, they can improve their own health, promote development and therefore economic growth.
