Temeke District, Tanzania Harm reduction programme

Doctors of the World has launched a harm reduction project with Tanzanian institutions and the local community at the start of 2010.

 

As elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa, the underlying factors of poverty, migration, marginalization, lack of information and poor access to services raises the risk of HIV/AIDS spreading further. This project has opened a drop-in centre to provide quality prevention services and allow access to testing and counselling by building the capacity of the existing local services.
