It also addresses serious questions on the evolving role of health system in the process of addressing SHR/HIV and AIDS i.e.
When, whether or how should the health system lead, follow or facilitate? Participants critically examine synergies and efficiencies, and the trade-offs that need to made in the process of integrating different kinds of services within and without the domain of SRHR.
