Our Local Stakeholders
The Medical Research Foundation
The MRF was established in March 1997 as an NGO under the leadership of
Professor Courtenay Bartholomew primarily for research to investigate the
Epidemiology of HIV & HTLV-1.
• In 2002, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago commissioned the MRF to become the first treatment site for
patients infected with HIV in Trinidad & Tobago.
• The MRF expanded from 250 patients (2002) to 8,000 patients (2017).
• The MRF is the largest of the 5 adult treatment sites in Trinidad and Tobago--- representing 73% of all PLHIV
known to be in care. Ward 2 Clinic San Fernando is second largest site with 1,554 patients.

The HIV/AIDS Coordinating Unit (HACU)
The HIV/AIDS Coordinating Unit (HACU) was restructured and renamed from National AIDS Programme to the HIV/
AIDS Coordinating Unit in September 2006. The HIV/AIDS Coordinating Unit in the Ministry of Health coordinates,
advises on policy direction, monitors and evaluates the implementation of the Ministry of Healthʼs response to the
HIV epidemic through the HIV/AIDS Health Sector Plan (HSP).
The mission of the HIV/AIDS Coordinating Unit is to lead the Ministry of Healthʼs response in reducing the
incidence of HIV infections in Trinidad & Tobago and also mitigating the impact of HIV/AIDS in persons infected
and affected in Trinidad & Tobago.
