AID FOR AIDS Panama is a satellite office of AID FOR AIDS International. It has been present in the country since 2006.
Since our arrival in Panama, AID FOR AIDS has been providing services in Clayton. In 2007, AFA Panama opened the first Comprehensive Care Center for Children and Adolescents with HIV or AIDS in Latin America at Children’s Hospital.
Since then, each program we implement is focused on 1) reducing the pandemic through empowerment and the development of skills and abilities, and 2) improving the quality of life of the groups most vulnerable to HIV and other health situations.
It facilitates access to ARV treatments at no cost to people with HIV who resist the treatment scheme offered by the Ministry of Health and the Social Security Fund. We offer them new treatment alternatives in agreement with the treating doctor in order to guarantee monitoring.
During times of shortages in these institutions, AID FOR AIDS gives these health agencies additional donations of ARVs that guarantee the continuity of treatment to people who require it.
