Addis Ababa, Janu.13(ENA)--"Horn of Africa Journal of AIDS" a biannual magazine launched here on Tuesday with a view to fostering health care education in a more organized and systematic fashion to make a difference in the lives of the victims in the region.
People to people, an International humanitarian organization has sponsored the journal to be distributed freely to the medical communities and medical schools in Africa.
Founder of the organization and editor -in -chief of the magazine Dr.Enawgaw Mehari said the magazine maintains a clearly defined mission, an extensive network of experienced and committed HIV/AIDS experts both internationally and locally.
Dr.Enawgaw said the publication of the journal would also give an opportunity to introduce the basic concept of HIV/AIDS in our society where patients with the disease are stigmatized and segregated for just being sick.
The organization has awarded 3,000 birr and certificates for each student with outstanding academic performance in the area of health education from Jimma and Gondar universities.
A panel discussion was also held on Fluconazole and other anti retroviral drugs, Dr.Enawgaw said.
Fluconazole helps prevent people living with HIV/AIDS from sore throat and mental diseases.
Preparations have been finalized to import Fluconazole and distribute freely among the beneficiaries.
