Why #IHeartHealthWorkers
“I love health workers because after working with them on an HIV testing campaign, I realize how crucial they are in my country.”
“Although the campaign was geared towards men we often found that when we reached a village, there were many women and children gathered as well.
Pauline
Mukoshe (above) was adamant to have her family tested—she had never been tested
and neither had her three children. All four of them tested negative.
I love health workers because they make our world, our Namibia a
healthier, happier, and more informed place, It takes a lot of courage to stand
in the gap for your country the way they do, to ensure access of high quality,
accessible HIV prevention, care, and treatment services.
