The initiative was carried out as part of Paracel’s Community Health and Safety Program and the “Health That Unites Us”project, promoted by the company in partnership with the Paraguayan Red Cross, with technical support from the First Health Region, the Concepción Regional Hospital, and PRONASIDA.
During the event, participants shared experiences, lessons learned, and best practices related to health promotion, volunteering, and collaborative work across different sectors. Topics addressed included HIV and other sexually transmitted infection prevention, combined prevention, Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), timely testing, and counseling.
