How to do treatment literacy

In 2003 TAC started treatment literacy programmes. We call our treatment education workers “treatment literacy practitioners,” which helps with their being accepted by medical professionals. Once the medical people see we help get people on treatment, they want more and more treatment educators from TAC to come into the hospitals.
