Dear colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we announce the launch of an ambitious and exciting new project, STrengthening InterProfessional Education to Improve HIV Care Across Africa (STRIPE HIV), as well as a funding opportunity to support the engagement of MEPI and NEPI institutions in this project.

STRIPE HIV aims to strengthen interprofessional HIV training provided by MEPI and NEPI institutions and their partner facilities to ensure that the next generation of health care professionals is equipped to deliver the highest quality, collaborative, evidence-informed HIV care. Please review the attached flier for additional details about the project as well as instructions to apply for funding. Important dates and deadlines are also listed below.

On May 12 every year, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) focuses on the need for nurses to become more active and vocal in policy development and implementation. This year, AFREhealth is privileged to celebrate International Nurses day with the Nurses on our Governing Council,  in our institutions, our membership, and across the whole of Africa.

Nurses are Africa’s frontline health care workers who work tirelessly every day in all sorts of challenging circumstances to make a difference to the health of the people of Africa. Nurses are essential in transforming health care and health systems so that nobody is left behind, without access to care or impoverished because of their need for health care.

Happy Nurses Day!
