She told the students about the diagnosis, treatment and support of patients. During the practical part of the students were acquainted with the principles of rapid tests to detect infection. Also, everyone had the opportunity to take the test.
Natalia Ryzhenko assures that AIDS is not a verdict: “Today, virtually every secondary care facility in the Kherson region and in Ukraine in general has the opportunity to receive treatment. This is what Dovira's offices and infectious disease doctors do.
