Wambi Dispensary it was established in 1997, it has implemented several projects including the project of distributing tuberculosis medicines , condoms for adolescent teenagers, malaria campaign awareness raising, contraceptives pills, male circumcision, and reducing Mother-to-Infant Transmission of HIV.
Current the Wambi Dispensary interventions aimed at reducing MTCT target the peripartum period but their application in populations where breastfeeding is the norm presents considerable problems (2, 3). Effective interventions include the reduction of the maternal viral load through antiretroviral therapy, the avoidance of exposure to contaminated maternal secretions through delivery by elective caesarean section, and the avoidance of breastfeeding. Washing the birth canal with an antiseptic to reduce exposure to contaminated secretions also has some effect. Therefore, Wambi Dispensary is appealing to any individual, organizations, institutions and donors interested to come to work with us and support our local initiatives as the above. Also we invite international volunteers across the continent to come to work with us and also help us in project writing for our health center.
