The VUSTA delegation and the representatives of Glink in the meeting

Since 2011, VUSTA and LIFE have been active supporters and have always closely followed many activities of Glink. At that time, Glink was still a self-reliant group without clear operational statements. After more than 12 years, Glink has been increasingly firm on the journey to fulfill its mission of building a more sustainable and healthier community, providing more and more comprehensive services not only for HIV but also for sexually transmitted infections, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, mind health and various non-communicable diseases related to blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular and so on through the community clinic model.

In continuation of the legacy and response to the expectations of partners and the community, in the context of foreign resources gradually decreasing, Glink Academy is established to play the role of a seasoned, open-minded individual willing to support community organizations and businesses, facilitating the development of a stable society.

VUSTA treasured the Glink sustainable development model, as well as its continuous innovation in terms of HIV/AIDS, which helped Glink gain trust from partners, the local government, and society. This solid foundation will further contribute to Glink's development.

VUSTA Vice President Pham Ngoc Linh also highly appreciated Glink's efforts throughout 12 years of development. With resilience and always looking forward, Glink overcame the difficulties, providing HIV testing services to customers, especially those who are hard to reach, such as hidden groups and substance users. Glink's model should be shared with other communities to inspire and provide them with a valuable lesson on organizational development.

Deputy Technical Director of VUSTA Project Management Board - The Global Fund Supported Project on HIV/AIDS stated that Glink leadership is a cohesive team that always places the community at the center of all action plans. Glink chose to support the MSM.TG group is very suitable for its vision and mission, and this is what sets it apart.

At the end of the program, Glink introduced its future vision to the VUSTA Vice President, committing to building a more effective social impact with its partners, as well as hoping VUSTA and LIFE will continue accompanying and supporting Glink.
