Cambodia - Kids Plus
Care for HIV positive children
The most innocent victims of the AIDS crisis are the children
and in particular those born with the HIV virus.
Servants staff hold a weekly clinic for a number of HIV+
children, providing basic medicines, milk powder, nutritional
supplements and advice.
Servants doctors strongly promote breast-feeding.
However, in the case of HIV positive mothers, the rate of
infection passed from mother to child has been proven to be
reduced from 27% to 8% when ARV drugs are provided at birth
and breast milk is replaced with hygienically prepared milk
powder.
After compassionate counselling where mothers are given the
options, our medical staff carefully train and follow up
mothers with HIV/AIDS, helping them to care for their children
and teaching them health, hygiene and nutrition. This
saves the lives of many children every year.
