Dear Forum,

 

Month of October-09. i was visited some ICTC & PPTCT centers of Haryana

state.There have i was found basic problems & no implementation of Naco

guidelines.

On saturdays in the afternoon session,counsellors will undertake outreach work

and visits to the homes of HIV positive clients facing severe crisis.TA/DA will

be paid to the counsellors for the outreach activities/home visits as per the

state government rules.
