NCC works hard to reform laws to benefit the interests of the community by providing workshops, one on one conversations, reading materials, mass media (radio campaigns) and with other NGO’s in rural and urban areas throughout the country.

NCC and WHCI are working to provide a one-stop-shopping model to provide 1) education/outreach utilizing Local and Mass media campaigns to promote caring for HIV positive individuals and 2) encourage and support its citizens to get pre/post counseling as part of the use of  rapid testing in Angola; and, 3) to provide access to medical services.

Mexico
 

World Health Care Infrastructures proudly welcomes to its family the Mexican Government’s “Centro Nacional para la Prevención y el Control del VIH/SIDA (CENSIDA).
 

CENSIDA, the Mexican government’s national agency in charge of HIV and prevention services in Mexico, is collaborating with WHCI to develop certification training and  “train the trainer” program to enhance its prevention counseling and testing programs across the nation. The first stage of this partnership includes pre and post prevention counseling and testing certification trainings using new oral fluid rapid testing technologies.
 

Consistent with WHCI’s mission, this joint initiative with the Mexican government is to facilitate and help build capacity and infrastructures within the country as a self-sustaining effort requiring little if any ongoing or permanent relationship with WHCI, as an international NGO. Our goal is to share knowledge and information through detailed technical state of the art trainings that can stand-alone and become an integral part of CENSIDA’s fight against HIV/AIDS.
 

Furthermore, CENSIDA and WHCI are currently working in the design and launching of Mexico’s National Women Awareness Conference to expand and enhance the knowledge and intervention skills about caring for women living with HIV/AIDS throughout Mexico.
