AB OBJECTIVE: To change attitude towards care of AIDS patients. METHODS: A
one week internship practicum had been arranged for 22 doctors in Uganda
and Zimbabwe during September-October 1993. These doctors were middle
level faculty members of Medical Colleges and staff of leading national
hospitals and were prepared as facilitators for countrywide training of
physicians. Training in Africa was limited to day to day work with local
physicians in hospital wards, occupied predominantly by AIDS patients
and observation of work among people with AIDS Organizations. RESULTS: A
dramatic change of attitude towards patients both HIV infected and those
who developed HIV related symptoms was reported on return from the
practical training. There was a change of attitude and perceptions
notably in the significant areas of HIV testing, counselling and a
respect for confidentiality and the non-discriminatory approach.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Personal interview in observing their work as
facilitators in district training proved that a short time exposure to
the African experience has dramatically advanced these national
facilitators and allowed them to gain skills and knowledge which African
physicians spent several years to develop. Further details of the
training exercise and outcome will be reported at the Conference.
