The newly certified testers are nurses, community health aides, and community liaison officers, all of whom are now equipped to deliver accurate, confidential, and compassionate HIV and syphilis testing services across the island.The graduation ceremony brought together healthcare practitioners, partners, and Ministry officials to recognize the successful completion of an intensive training and certification programme.
