BD Applauds PEPFAR's Broadened Emphasis on Strengthening Health Systems
Date:1/8/2010

ns is to strengthen healthcare systems in developing countries," said Gary Cohen, Executive Vice President, BD. "This is why we agree with and support this area of strategic emphasis for PEPFAR."

BD's three public-private collaborations with PEPFAR are focused on different areas of health system strengthening. The laboratory strengthening program involves extensive training of laboratory technicians in quality control systems and specific testing procedures for diagnosing and monitoring HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. The Wellness Center initiative, pursued in collaboration with the International Council of Nurses, provides essential services to health workers and their families including discreet HIV testing and treatment. Most recently, BD and PEPFAR announced the launch of a third program focused on safe blood sampling and handling practices. It is anticipated that as many as 10,000 health workers will be trained in this program.
