The Ministry of Health and Wellness will be resuming its extended clinic hours for the treatment of persons with HIV as well as to integrate care of the patients to reduce stigma.
Acting Director of the Treatment, Care and Support Component of the HIV/STI Unit at the Ministry, Dr. Rebekah Hoilett Duncan, says due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the extended clinic hours were reduced, and come October to December, patients will have more time to receive care.
Dr. Hoilett Duncan outlined that the Ministry is initiating several measures to ensure that patients remain in care, while eliminating stigma against them at medical facilities.
