Under the leadership of the US Global AIDS Coordinator, as part of the Presidents Emergency Plan, developing the capacity of the health systems to serve the needs of the population is of key importance.
A critical component of this emphasis on developing sustainable health services is strengthening
higher education institutions.
HHS/CDC will focus on providing support to government-supported and private superior training institutions and university medical education programs to support the creation of high quality graduates.
Strengthening of these institutions will be accomplished through revision of curricula, as needed; faculty development (technical and increased teaching skills capacity); purchase of teaching and reference materials, clinical equipment for practicums and minor renovations; salaries for part-time classroom and field supervisors; student transportation and accommodation to practicum sites; provision of scholarships; and improving the teaching skills of classroom and field faculty.
