Workplace HIV AIDS Care PDF Print E-mail

Siyakhana is an international benchmark project that provides participating small and medium sized companies in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, with tangible HIV and AIDS awareness, counselling, testing, treatment, care, support and impact mitigation.

The project is an innovative partnership between Mercedes-Benz South Africa, the Border-Kei Chamber of Business and German development agency, Deutsche Investitions und Entwicklungestellscaft (DEG) that commenced in 2006. DEG co-financed the project with public funds from Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development. HIV positive employees receive treatment through a general practitioner network, receive ongoing support through a patient training programme and ongoing counselling all funded by
BroadReach Healthcare LLC through a PEPFAR grant. The programme extends to partners and family members. 

The Siyakhana project has grown to over 60 Member Company’s on their books and are currently treating over 450 positive cases of HIV/AIDS. Recently the Trustees added TB to the list of workplace priority areas and accordingly treat TB as well. The project also increased the number of government clinics it mentors and assists from seven to twelve.

If you'd like your company and employees to benefit from this project, contact Siyakhana Health Trust today:
