With support from USAID and ESSO, a voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) clinic is now under construction in Soyo. It will provide HIV/AIDS counseling and testing to the public and support ongoing testing at the Soyo hospital. USAID is working with the Ministry of Health to increase the number of VCT sites available throughout the country - this sometimes involves renovations of already existing clinics and other time means building the clinics from the ground up.

A health worker demonstrates to mothers in a Kuimba health center how a mosquito net should be treated to prevent their children from getting malaria. USAID and ESSO, in cooperation with Population Services International and the MENTOR Initiative, are supporting the Government in its effort to achieve the ambitious targets it has set for reducing malaria. The program has resulted in the distribution of over 50,000 nets since its launch in December 2004, with much higher projections for the year ahead.
