Health Care Workers |
|
A group of Health Care Workers has been trained through the ACCORD BUSINESS ACADEMY. The training was paid for by the Global Fund. The theory training of one month was successfully completed with all 18 candidates passing whilst one scored 100%. This is indeed an achievement if one considers that some of the trainees only have std 6 and studied for their last exams more than 10 years ago! They also did practical training at the Uniondale Hospital, Lyonville Clinic and at the residences of patients in Uniondale and Haarlem in order to qualify for certificates. Some of these Carers has been taken up in a learner nurse training programme in Oudtshoorn. Uniep is proud of these achievements! As a result of the hard work of the Eden District Municipality additional funds were made available by the Global Fund. Accordingly a two month training programme will commence during January 2006. This will entail Life Skills Training, HIV/Aids Counselling & Awareness Training, TB Awareness and Dietary Counselling.10 persons will be trained to act as independent counsellors. They will assist with peer-group, dietary TB, HIV/Aids counselling.
They will also present Awareness Programs in Haarlem, Avontuur, De Hoop and Noll. Thanks to Eden Municipality and The Global fund who made this worthwhile project possible.
