ONGOING PROJECTS :

1 - SEAD is providing care & support to PLHA (People Living with HIV AIDS).

SEAD took over MDM HIV/Aids care and support activities in October 2008 and PSF (Pharmaciens sans Frontières) staff and budget in January 2009.

Presently more than 3 100 patients are registered at the center, including 2 500 receiving ARV, with 60% of women.

Most of these patients (around 70%) are vulnerable people. The main constrain faced for a proper follow-up and to ensure a good adherence to the antiretroviral treatment, that is crucial, is the social-economic environment of these patients. Thus SEAD has developed a strong and large psychosocial network and provide direct financial support for transportation and nutrition. SEAD has allocated 150 micro-credits to PLHA patients, leading to a successful economical and quality of life improvement for 95% of them.

 2 - SEAD leads the conception and construction of HIV/Aids outpatient and inpatient departments in Preah Kossamak Hospital (Phnom Penh) ensuring a high quality of care (construction funded by Japanese Embassy and equipped by Elton John Aids Foundation), and also was responsible for the building of the Dermatologic Ward – (German foundation funding). Currently SEAD is also supervising the construction of a new surgical ward in the same hospital.

 3 - SEAD publishes and distributes a magazine for People Living with HIV/Aids (PLHA) and most at risk people (MARP) in Cambodia covering topics of importance to quality of life and interest (30 000 copies distributed nationwide). Furthermore, a national services directory dedicated to the vulnerable population is under development with the collaboration of UNICEF and Ministry of Social Affairs (Khmer language, 40 000 copies).
