What is the Siyakhula Collaborative workshop?
Our two-day workshop, funded by a grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, will bring together a group of international, multidisciplinary health scientists, clinicians, and stakeholders to build capacity for research and training in HIV-infection and women’s and infants’ health across geographical and disciplinary boundaries. Ultimately, we seek to understand the relationships between biological, social and environmental factors on health outcomes in HIV-infected mothers and their infants. What does Siyakhula mean? Siyakhula means to grow, in Zulu, and represents the growing the need to lessen the impact and lasting burden of HIV exposure for optimal development and health of future generations. |
