An AusAID-funded Zect to provide crucial prevention care services for HIV positive women and children was launched in Hanoi Tuesday.

AusAID, the Australian government’s aid agency, will provide A$250,000 (US$176,000) for the Compassion House project, carried out by the Vietnam Women’s Association for helping HIV-afflicted women and children in the capital and nearby areas, as well as for raising awareness of the issue.

Compassion House will fill an important gap in the provision of HIV/AIDS services for women and children in Hanoi and nearby areas, including shelter for women from other provinces who come to Hanoi for medical check-up, treatment and consultations, as well as other forms of support for HIV carriers and their relatives.
