The new multi-sectoral Guyana Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS is to pay greater attention to the policies and practices of local insurance companies in relation to providing insurance services for Persons Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA’s).
The Guyana Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS which includes some of the country’s leading business houses will also be seeking to play a role in influencing the adoption of corporate policies that provide the best possible framework for a positive response to the challenge of HIV/AIDS at the workplace.
Earlier this week the Guyana HIV/AIDS Reduction and Prevention Project (GHARP) announced that the Coalition is seeking to engage the insurance companies in order to persuade them to be “more tolerant” in their approach to providing insurance cover to persons living with HIV/AIDS.
