Short course: Health sector responses to HIV, 31 May - 11 June 2010, Royal Tropical Institute, KIT Training Centre, Amsterdam
Dates: 31 May 2010 - 11 June 2010
The health sector plays a crucial part in the response to HIV and AIDS in terms of prevention and provision of services. In many cases it has also been affected by the epidemic, as many health workers are living with HIV. In this course, participants critically analyse existing services from the perspective of addressing the needs of vulnerable groups and communities,and examine the impact on the health system and formulate responses. Participants also examine the opportunities presented by HIV programmes to establish synergies and to strengthen the existing health system.
The course is one of three HIV/AIDS modules offered at Royal Tropical Institute (KIT):
- Dynamics of HIV and AIDS Epidemics and Analysis of Effective Responses
- HIV Politics, Policy, Governance and Planning Mechanisms
These modules can be taken on their own or as part of the Master in HIV/AIDS or the Certificate programme in multisectoral responses to HIV/AIDS. Participants who successfully follow all three modules but are not enrolled in the Master's programme receive the certificate.
The application deadline is 30 March 2010 and the course fee is 1440 Euros.
