25/02/2013 : Safe donor blood - an effective barrier to HIV transmission

The blood donation section of the blood transfusion center is crowded with donors, and more are waiting for their turn to donate blood. Many are newcomers, and some are “veteran” blood donors. - I have been donating blood for five years already. I remember a case when a pregnant woman underwent a car accident. She and her baby would perish if there were no blood for transfusion. I was happy to share my blood with her, and thank God, she survived and delivered her baby. Since that time she and her son visit me on the child’s birthday, and I feel blessed that was able to help two people. I continue donating so that to help more people, – says Ergash, 48-year old blood donor. more

03/08/2012 : Towards securing safe donor blood - a strong barrier to HIV infection

07/03/2012 : Making antiretroviral treatment available for all

Training doctors across the country to make antiretroviral treatment (ARVT) available for all in need is one of the important things UNDP-Global Fund project is doing in Uzbekistan.

Training of the medical staff in the regions on ARVT is crucial for success of this initiative, to support this cause UNDP-GF project supported it and organized trainings for the regional specialists. more
