✅ Summary Table
| Entity | Role & Mission |
|---|---|
| Neftaly | Training provider offering accredited HIV/STI education courses (e.g. Unit Standard 114491) |

SAHCS serves clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals working in HIV care across the region. Neftaly offers training courses, which may complement some educational aspects but is separate from SAHCS.
If you were looking for how Neftaly courses tie into SAHCS membership or professional development, they function independently but could be complementary—e.g. Neftaly training could be useful for community educators, while SAHCS caters to clinicians via guidelines, CMEs and conferences.
