The South African Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS (SABCOHA) together with the Southern African HIV Clinicians Society gave feedback from the 19th International AIDS Conference, that took place in Washington DC during July 2012.

The theme was 'Turning the Tide Together' and we had some authoritative speakers and panelists who attended the conference to familiarize you with the latest developments. Through your participation we hope to leverage how we as a country and the South African business community specifically can realize the goal of Turning the Tide Together, starting with the integration of TB diagnosis and treatment.

SABCOHA in partnership with BUSA invites you to a workshop that will inform a business focused submission for consideration that would influence the drafting of the next phase of the National Strategic Plan (NSP).  The NSP 2012-2016 is set to be launched on World Aids Day, 1 December 2011.

SABCOHA has - during the 2010/2011 period - engaged with stakeholders in several provinces through inclusive and extensive consultation with the intention of identifying key priorities that would both support SABCOHA’s strategic business plans as well as the NSP.  This workshop will be a synthesis of all themes emerging out of the provincial consultations including identifying national priorities and determining key gaps which need to be addressed.

The outcomes of this workshop will inform the private sector submission to the National Department of Health for inclusion in the drafting of the NSP 2012-2016.
