The frontline medical workers who will benefit from this renovation provide vital care to many Emaswati—80 percent of those who receive services at Phocweni are actually civilians—and if health care workers have a better quality of life, they provide better care.The U.S. government through The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is committed to ensuring a safe working environment for all health care workers—this is at the core of our mission to combat HIV and invest in the health of all Emaswati”, reads the online statement released by the US Embassy eSwatini.
