Agir Ensemble has been represented by its director of Health Department at the 15th World Conference on Tobacco Or Health in Singapore from March 20-24, 2012 and before the conference, we have been in contact with Solutions4Health of UK to build a partnership in smoking cessation with our medical clinic to help people in D.R.Congo have access to tobacco control service with technical support from Solutions4Health. During the conference, we met with delegates from Solutions4Health to see how we can improve our partnership and setup strategies to look for funding for our health link. So, THET program was one of opportunities to strengthen our link. Mateus Kambale Sahani, M.D. Director of Health Department Agir Ensemble.
