Hubei HIV/AIDS Professional Education - Project HOPE began a programme to train selected physicians, nurses, and other health care workers with the highest level of interest and experience with HIV/AIDS, and the greatest likelihood of caring for high volumes of people living with HIV/AIDS in their clinical care settings.
