Key activities funded by Australian and New Zealand donors in 2020
In Kasese, we provided sexual and reproductive healthcare for adolescents, including ante- and postnatal care, awareness raising to encourage young people to come for consultations and health education, and recreational activities until these were suspended due to COVID-19; HIV care for fishing communities around George and Edward lakes; in Arua, HIV care with a focus on children, adolescents and patients with advanced HIV disease or a high viral load, with care resumed for most Congolese cross-border patients who we lost contact with between March and July during COVID-19 lockdowns; medical and psychological care for victims of sexual violence, including outreach activities, in Arua’s Omugo and Imvepi refugee settlements.
IMPACT
Sexual and reproductive health services for adolescents moved into the new adolescent care section of the municipal primary health facility, to facilitate patient access and decrease stigma.
