Our Work

Our work in the country, began in 2006. The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation worked in accordance with the national health commission, advocating for and offering technical assistance to integrate HIV counseling, testing, and antiretroviral prophylaxis and treatment into existing health, and in particular maternal and child health, structures. Our work focused on national health system capacity building efforts focused on HIV counseling techniques, treatment services in line with globally recommended regimens, infant feeding within and outside the context of HIV, the offering of psychosocial support and the care and treatment of opportunistic infections. We’ve also strengthened infrastructure in China, working alongside the national health program and partners, to enhance patient flow, drug distribution, and commodity stock supply.
