What We Do

CDC’s Central Asia Regional (CAR) office works to strengthen public health systems in the region by focusing on strategic information, blood safety, injection safety, laboratory services, HIV/AIDS prevention for at-risk and vulnerable populations, and treatment and care services. CDC’s support includes:

The office helps build the capacity of prevention specialists through training and mentoring; by implementing evidence-based pilot programs; adopting new modes of service delivery and expanding prevention and related services for at-risk populations

 The CAR also strengthens HIV treatment and care services by developing clinical guidelines for screening and managing HIV infection; enhancing diagnosis of HIV infection and co-infection and continues to work to improve national monitoring and evaluation systems (M&E) as well as develop strategic laboratory plans and accreditation activities.
