and communities. Defending the population against what threatens its
health. Protecting people against the financial consequences
of ill-health. Providing equitable access to people-centered care.

Take Home Points
Strengthening of health systems through cultural and linguistic competence is a necessary prerequisite for improving the prevention of HIV infection and the care of HIV-infected persons.
Cultural competence is a journey – not a destination.A process of becoming competent, not
being culturally competent.
