One of the most interesting parts of my job is that I've become a construction worker. Okay, not a construction worker but a construction organizer. We are trying to implement diagnostic counseling and testing (DCT) for HIV at TB services. Most TB services are open spaces outside of the clinic with no counseling rooms. In order to implement DCT, we need to first increase infrastructure in clinics so overcrowded finding any extra space is a challenge. At three clinics we struck a deal with the world food program to buy containers (see above) in order to store food they give to the clinics for HIV patients. That freed up building space that we then converted into counseling rooms. These pictures show the delivery of one of the containers to Chipata clinic. It was so entertaining the whole neighborhood came out to watch.
