Holy Family Hospital-Berekum Party's With Children Living With HIV/AIDS, Urging Them Not to Default in Medication. 


All efforts to suppress the viral load of HIV/AIDS patients across the country has been a major concern of the National AIDS commission.


Among the strategies to help achieve this agenda of reducing the viral load of children living with HIV/AIDS is what the Holy Family Hospital in the Berekum East Municipal of the Bono Region is working towards by bringing the children together as one body to organise an Xmas get together party for the children.


Rev. Sister Rena V. John, the hospital administrator who sponsored most part of the programme emphasised that, it has been very difficult for most of the children to take their medication and the Xmas party is an adoption to help motivate the children living with HIV/AIDS in ensuring their regular taking of their medication to enable them to suppress the viral load in their system.


Rev. Sister Anna Twumasi, a pharmacist at the hospital's HIV/AIDS counselling unit also made an appeal to the general public to support the hospital in their health care delivery especially at the HIV/AIDS unit which so far is caring for over 90 children living with HIV/AIDS within the Berekum East Municipality and its environs. 


An HIV/AIDS patient shared her experience after contracting the disease which she advised her colleagues patient to exercise boldness to withstand the disease.





According to her, most pastors have been attributing HIV/AIDS as a spiritual sickness which, she advised them to allow every suspected persons to seek for the doctors assistance than to give the suspected individuals a spiritual direction which will at the end will worsened their conditions.


The event was attended by the management of the hospital, some staff at the HIV/AIDS unit, parents and relatives of the children, media and among others.
