"Participants who succeed at level one will advance to the game at level two and so forth," she explained.

"We want program innovations, using measured data, utilizing ICT, optimizing available resources and responding to challenges quickly," she explained.

Through this movement, strategic and sustainable small steps will have a major impact on HIV/AIDS prevention.

"This is also in line with the national acceleration of HIV treatment initiatives from the Health Ministry. Currently, medics from 42 sub-district puskesmas and three partner clinics in Jakarta will compete to achieve program targets according to a global initiative called Fast-Track: Cities Ending the AIDS Epidemic by 2030," he uttered.
