Dear friends,

A Program of Study on “HIV & Family Education” is the fruit of the collaborative endeavour between Indira Gandhi National Open University and the Commission for Healthcare of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India.

At a moment when the society is experiencing a snowballing increase in the HIV endemic, a serious and in-depth understanding and awareness-building on the modes of transmission, prevention, care, counselling and other related issues, are very much vital. The said course is a serious attempt in this direction.

The course-contents are designed and prepared by the best in the field. Definitely every one would find the programme valuable and fascinating. Since the Course is offered through the distant mode of learning, anyone could join in.

We earnestly recommend you to participate in this Study Programme. Please disseminate this information through all possible ways. Do encourage others to benefit from this.

With best wishes,

Sincerely Yours,

Dr. Alex Vadakumthala
Executive Secretary
CBCI Commission for Health
