AMREF's Groundbreaking Work Featured in the Toronto Star

 After 9 years of marriage Lucy found out her husband Emmanuel was HIV    positive. She was immediately tested and the results were negative. But  she didn't know what to do. She wanted to support her husband but stay  healthy and protect her children.  
 
 Discordant couples – when one partner is HIV-positive and the other is not  – are increasingly common in Africa. These couples face unique challenges  including the stigma associated with the disease and the risk of  transmitting it to a loved one.  
 
 AMREF’s groundbreaking project counseling discordant couples in Tanzania is making a huge impact on couples like Lucy and Emmanuel.   Find out more about the challenges discordant couples face and how AMREF's work is empowering people towards better health in today’s Toronto Star.

Visit an AMREF Clinic in Southern Sudan 
After 21 years of civil war health care in Southern Sudan was decimated. When the 2005 peace agreement was signed 50 doctors were left to care for a population of 10 million people.

But AMREF has a long history of working in partnership with Southern Sudanese communities and the Ministry of Health. By training health professionals and running clinics AMREF is improving health. And now you can see for yourself! 
 
Tour the Tali health clinic in Southern Sudan, where AMREF doctors, nurses and lab professionals are bringing better health care closer to the people who need it most.
