The ICMDA HIV Initiative

External website http://www.icmdahivinitiative.org/

The ICMDA HIV Initiative is a Christian initiative and is a linked activity of the International Christian Medical and Dental Association. We are motivated by a belief in a loving God who cares about all the world's people regardless of health status, race, creed, colour or financial or social standing. The International Christian Medical and Dental Association (ICMDA) is an association of more than fifty national Christian medical, dental and health worker societies, and interested individuals, reaching out to Christian doctors, dentists, health workers and students around the globe.

We continue to encourage all Christian health workers, services, institutions, local congregations and communities to engage holistically in HIV and AIDS advocacy, education, prevention, care and treatment. We support the call for universal access to prevention and treatment as part of a right to health and dignity for all.

Congratulations to Dr Stephen Watiti of Uganda
Announced on World AIDS days, December 1, Dr Stephen had this to say “Glory be to God for the award. I am humbled by this. I pray that the Lord will continue to help me as I bear witness to His power to save in the face of challenges many of us PLHIV, especially Christians, have to face.

I never thought it would come to this. When I discovered my infection I prayed for strength to go down fighting. When He gave me a new lease on life, I though I could share my testimony with others (Rev 12 vs 11); and now this!
