HIV/AIDS Coalition to Focus on Small Firms [South Africa]

The South African Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS (Sabcoha) is to place greater emphasis on small businesses, ensuring that they implement programmes for their employees to tackle the disease, according to its CEO, Brad Mears.... While many large corporations have implemented workplace HIV/AIDS programmes offering counselling and treatment to their employees, smaller companies have been slow to follow their lead...Sabcoha is trying to get big corporations to help their suppliers implement HIV/AIDS workplace programmes, but ultimately will encourage large companies to…insist that their contractors have such initiatives in place before they procure goods and services, said Mears.
