Recently, Ninh Binh, the Northern mountainous province in Vietnam hosted a training workshop on “Diagnosis, treatment and care for the HIV/AIDS infected people” (May 2^nd and 3^rd 2005). It is the continuously collaboration project between  the Highland Education Development Organization (HEDO Vietnam) and the International Centre for Equal Healthcare Access (ICEHA America).

 The training workshop attracted 50 doctors in Ninh Binh and 16 other from Hoa Binh, Lao Cai, Lam Dong and Lang Son provinces. It is the great honor for Ninh Binh to welcome the well known Vietnamese and International faculties in the workshop. The workshop mainly focus on the methods for HIV/AIDS diagnosis, treatment and care. With the good teaching methods of the lectures all the participants had gained base knowledge on HIV/AIDS and do better serve for the patients. The well organizing, the participants’ enthusiasm and hospitality made the training workshop great success.

 During the past 3 year of collaboration, ICEHA and HEDO has carried out number of training workshops for the mountainous and remote province in Vietnam. They has supported nearly thousand of doctors to improve their skill in the HIV/AIDS field. In the coming time, ICEHA and HEDO intend to open other  training courses. Hopefully that in October 2005 the second training workshop for Ninh Binh province will be held. Especially HEDO and  ICEHA  are finding a funding body for the International Conference in December 2005  “Combining HIV/AIDS and Drug abuse prevention”. The International Conference will be held with the total of 300 participants from ASEAN, European and Australian.
