AB OBJECTIVE: To strengthen channels of IEC on AIDS through active
involvement of Traditional Birth Attendants (TBA's) in the Regions.
METHODS: TBA's who actively served their community were selected from 10
regions. Training on the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS was given
through lecture, demonstration and site visits for five days. IEC
materials; reusable gloves; scissors and disinfectants were also
supplied. RESULTS: A total of 4000 TBA's were trained in ten regions who
in turn disseminated information and educational messages through
informal and traditional channals such as 'Edir', 'Maheber', 'Senbete'
and during attending delivery. CONCLUSIONS: Regional training of TBA's
has strengthened the channels of communications and created linkage
between health institutions and the community. As the result identified
TBA's as a focal point for future establishment of community based home
care in Ethiopia.
