Deadline: 11 February 2019

Applications are open for the Continuous Patient Education (COPE) project that enables the production and translation of patient education materials, brochures and other resources related to HIV/AIDS & co-infections in multiple languages.

The project aims at empowering people living with HIV/AIDS and their advocates by providing access to the latest information about HIV/AIDS and co-infections in their local language. Being able to refer to up-to-date and reliable information adapted to the local situation is essential in the dialogue with clinicians, health administrators and policy makers.
