The National Aids Council (NAC) is rolling out several initiatives, including having regular mobile clinics in HIV/Aids hotspot areas in Matabeleland South province to bridge the gap left by the exit of key partners as a result of the cut of funding by the United States of America Government.
NAC provincial project coordinator, Mr Wilfred Ngwenya told journalists on Monday that they were targeting needy areas, mostly in rural areas, guided by the national census figures.
The organisation is having a week-long media engagement to amplify the fight against HIV/Aids.
The media engagement includes a tour of major projects in the Gwanda and Insiza districts.
Mr Ngwenya said, besides mobile HIV/Aids clinics, they were rolling out the Sista to Sista, Not in My Village,
Community Antiretroviral Refill Groups (CARG), Peer Led Model and Male Engagement programme among others.
So far, he said they had started having the mobile clinic at Mtshabezi under Chief Mathema, where community members are getting free HIV/Aids screening, maternal, eye and counselling services among others.
