Job Description

The National AIDS/STI Control Programme (NACP) and SEND GHANA need a consultant to develop, administer, and supervise a context-specific curriculum and stigma-specific monitoring instrument.

BACKGROUND

Stigma and prejudice in healthcare environments cause people to hide symptoms, deterring them from seeking care and discouraging good habits. They promote HIV spread, prevent HIV testing, prevent treatment initiation and adherence, and promote disengagement from care, hindering epidemic control. Stigma and prejudice in health institutions must be addressed to provide fair access to care, improved service delivery, patient rights, and client and staff safety.

Ten Greater Accra antiretroviral therapy sites were surveyed in 2022. Service providers continued to stigmatize HIV-positive people and their loved ones. Further study demonstrated that poor infection prevention and control knowledge, ignorance of HIV policies and protocols, and stigma reduction at health institutions drove these stigmatizing beliefs.
