In some African regions life expectancy has dropped to 36 years.

AHCIP's medical personnel posted in Africa will establish clinics and outreach programs to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS in key areas. Our initial efforts have been dedicated to establishing programs in Western and Southern Africa. AHCIP volunteers currently working in these areas include:

• In Nigeria — Anthony Amadi-Emina, MD, Medical Director; and Collins Opara, Field Coordinator for West Africa
• In Sierra Leone — Professor Ayodele Bash Taqi
• In Namibia — Dumebi Adigwe, MD, Medical Director and Field Coordinator for Southern Africa

For our work with the population affected by AIDS, AHCIP has adopted a set of treatment guidelines and protocols which you can access by clicking this link:
