"If you want to see hope in the midst of despair, look to Dr. Jeff Stringer and his colleagues at CIDRZ. By any measure, they are global heroes" -- Mary Fisher, Special Representative, UNAIDS
Ask anyone who has come to CIDRZ as a patient, practitioner or visitor what makes it special and the most common answer is "the people." Motivated by both a desire to practice the best medicine possible and a concern for every individual who seeks treatment, CIDRZ doctors, nurses and other practitioners listen carefully to patients.
The listening often brings insight that can be tested through research. And the research then benefits those who first came with the concern, the question or the need. Those who have been patients often become trainers. Some get additional education and work in pharmacies or clinics. From doctors to cleaners, lab techs to secretaries, everyone who works at CIDRZ shares a common motivation to help those who suffer and to make strides toward stopping the suffering.
