AOET - Uganda Rural Health Program Laboratory

The AOET - Uganda Health Center continues to work with rural communities - providing HIV/AIDS Education/Awareness and treatment. Hundreds of people are treated weekly, and thousands have been reached with medical care this year!

The Following pictures will give you a window into the facilities that we have, some of the Staff and the people that we’ve served through our rural outreaches and the daily work at the health center.

Featured Staff:

	This is Emmanuel.             He is one of the two Laboratory Technicians that have been with our Medical outreaches for over 4 years. Emmanuel does all our HIV, Malaria,  TB, … testing at the Health center and and all the rural Health Laboratory work.
	Loyce (in green) and Fred (in a white Gown) have been with AOET for three years and Manage the Pharmacy.  They go on mobile Clinics to the Villages twice a week and dispense drugs 3 days a week at the AOET Health center!

	This is Solomon.           Solomon is one of our HIV/AIDS counsellors. He also does registration (together with other Officers) of Patients that come to the Health center (if they are new) or screening through which patients need emergency care and those that don’t.

These are some of the Health center personnel that work long hours providing care for mainly AIDS Patients, going into remote villages doing Health education, Home based AIDS Care… This year we’ve seen OVER 3,000 regular AIDS patients both through the Health center and Mobile clinics, and several thousand “on-and-offs”.
