3M Ukraine Provides Dental Care to Children Living with HIV
3M Ukraine is teaming up with the International HIV/AIDS Alliance in Ukraine to provide dental care to HIV-positive children. Starting on World AIDS Day, December 1, the program will cover over 600 HIV-positive children from six Ukrainian cities, who will receive complex dental care and preventive measures at no cost. This program is critical, especially for children because dental problems are among the worst complications for people living with HIV. 3M Ukraine will provide hospitals with high-quality dental equipment and recommendations for their young patients. The International HIV/AIDS Alliance in Ukraine will provide information support and assistance to install the modern equipment. Click here for more information (in Ukrainian).
