Podcast on VMMC examines nurses' role

VMMCs performed by nurses are safe and have become standard practice in most VMMC settings, the authors of a new systematic and policy review say in this podcast from the Journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care. However, many countries have not yet aligned national nursing and midwifery regulations with national VMMC policies to provide clear authorization for nurses and midwives to provide VMMC services, their review found. The study was published in the Journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care (JANAC Podcast, December 2020).
