The National Syndemic Disease Control Council (NSDCC) is intensifying its sensitisation efforts to reduce the risk of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis infections among People Who Inject Drugs (PWID).
As part of this initiative, the NSDCC aims to engage PWIDs as Prevention Champions and change agents at the community level through a peer-to-peer approach.
Former or recovering PWIDs will be equipped with knowledge about HIV and hepatitis transmission, harm reduction strategies, and how to access healthcare services.
The initiative also seeks to reduce stigma by fostering sustainable community change.
