Welcome to the readers of  ,
the monthly newsletter from the MSD Interpharma HIV Team.
This issue is the second and last chapter dedicated to the Blueprint for Business Action on HIV/AIDS.
In a tough environment where HIV/AIDS is taking a significant toll on businesses, it is not easy to run a profitable business operation and take care of employees, dependents and community members living with HIV. By 2020, without successful intervention, 14 African countries will see workforce losses of 10 to 30% and four African countries will lose more that 30% of their workforce (World Economic Forum, 2004).
After a consultative process of eighteen months, whereby our team incorporated the latest lessons and guidelines from the world's leading authorities on the HIV/AIDS epidemic, as well as our own experience with small and medium African companies, here is a simple and user-friendly medical-economic simulation tool that we have developed to help you visualize and analyze the impact of an HIV/AIDS workplace program on your organization.
As for the seven modules detailed in the April issue of HIV@MSD, this interactive, free of charge tool will guide you step by step from having No Program to viewing the outcome of a Prevention Program, and discovering what a Comprehensive Program could do for the life of your company, fifteen years from now.
Enter YOUR human resources and financial data, and be able to determine the estimated total cumulative HIV/AIDS costs to business as broken down by cost of:
- Prevention,
- Healthcare
- AIDS absenteeism
- AIDS deaths
- New hires
Change YOUR data as often as you want and view right away the cost/benefits of your different options for the management of HIV/AIDS at the workplace!
Implementing a work place program is YOUR choice. We just hope that you will regard the Blueprint for Business Action on HIV/AIDS as a comprehensive tool to make the right decision for your business, based on a sound knowledge of its consequences on your activity, in the near future.Join us now and try the Interactive SIMULATION TOOL of the Blueprint for Business Action on HIV/AIDS! click here...
