Sudan HIV/AIDS Working Group (SHAWG)


I have recently been involved with the newly founded Sudan HIV/AIDS Working Group (SHAWG) http://www.shawg.org . SHAWG is a voluntary network of healthcare professionals with special interest in HIV/AIDS aiming to contribute to the HIV/AIDS control activities in the Sudan. SHAWG delivered an advanced training workshop on the management of HIV in August 2008, which was attended by 51 physicians from all over Sudan. Further rounds of training are planned with 6 monthly intervals.


The birth of SHAWG gives further impetus to the HIV control efforts in Sudan. The UNDP/TOKTEN (SUDAN) programme has warmly embraced SHAWG and facilitated our activities http://www.sd.undp.org/story%20tokten.htm
