Training
Where institutions have campus clinics with staff, HIGHER HEALTH drives public sector partnerships for the supply of diagnostics, medicines, contraceptives and other consumables. It also offers training for nursing personnel to expand their competencies – for example, in terms of initiating ART, providing contraception and primary mental health services.
Clinic Establishments
Where institutions do not have clinic services, HIGHER HEALTH facilitates partnerships with provincial health departments and district health offices to establish clinics offering this package of youth-friendly services on campuses.
