Description:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) started work in South Africa in 1989, assisting non-governmental and community-based organizations working with HIV/AIDS. In 1994 at the onset of democracy in South Africa, CDC began to collaborate with the Ministry of Health's (MoH) National Department of Health to conduct public health epidemiology training; develop national health goals and objectives; develop national HIV clinical, ethical, and research guidelines; and support HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) programs. CDC plays an essential role in implementing the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
