Before I start describing the first assignment day - the kick start day let me share a few snaps of the new stay at the Sentinel Luxury Suite Hotels. I could not share that in yesterday's post where I ended at departure from Johannesburg and not extended till arrival at the new stay at Pretoria.
The hotel is a good one with no smoking room with attached private garden. Smoking is allowed in the garden 😊.
In three sides of the hotel there are High Commission of Australia, Embassy of USA and Embassy of Czech Republic. Enough of a description of my new stay, let me move to describe "the" day - kick start.
The experience of the first meeting with SANAC - with the HIV Technical Advisor, Petro Rousseau - was amazing. It was quite a good overview of what SANAC is doing and what is the expectation. They have a web platform - Focus for Impact. This is a analytical platform that gathers data from different sources, analyzes them and provides analyzed data view. Where are the burdens of HIV, TB or STI (Sexually Transmitted Infections)? What could be the causes behind the burden etc. The ask is to recommend optimization of the platform.Very interesting things to know. to do and to satisfy the self.
On a personal note, realized that it is difficult to post updates in the mornings, need to leave by 8 AM. Evening time is the best time to do it. I will be doing so from now on. Please stay tuned in.
