Shortly after the signing of the MOU, PSP-One and Biocross began the first activities under this partnership: PSP-One has trained the Biocross sales force, who will help disseminate a PSP-One training activity in late March. Biocross will also cost share and be present in this training. This partnership is part of PSP-One’s multi-pronged strategy to reach private physicians in Guatemala with information and training on HIV to improve the quality of the counseling and testing (CT) services they provide. Abt Associates, a leader in health, research and strategic planning, manages the Private Sector Partnerships One project with a mandate to increase private sector involvement in family planning, reproductive health, and other health products and services. Funded from 2004 to 2009 by the U.S. Agency for International Development, PSP-One's goal is to provide technical leadership that promotes and expands the private sector's interest, ability, and direct involvement in the delivery of high-quality and affordable health products and services in the developing world. If you have something to share with the community (an announcement, an event, a document to include in the resource library), or would like more information, please email us at info@psp-one.com. |

On February 8 2008, PSP-One Guatemala and the pharmaceutical company Biocross signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), under which Biocross will make available its sales force to provide PSP-One with access to 2,100 private physicians throughout the country. Biocross is a Guatemalan company that distributes pharmaceutical products, including anti-retrovirals, from the Indian company Cipla in Central America, Panama, and South America. Under the MOU, PSP-One will use the Biocross sales force to reach private providers with information regarding HIV/AIDS and to recruit participants for its private provider trainings. Biocross will also cost share the training of its sales personnel, the production of informational materials on HIV/AIDS, and private provider trainings. The USAID/Guatemala Mission Director, Mr. Wayne Nilsestuen, and the President of the Guatemalan Medical Association, Dr. Mario López Castillo, witnessed the signing of the MOU, showing their support to this innovative partnership.
