The first three clinics franchised are the Holy Trinity Medical Centre, Nyaho Medical Centre and Akai House Clinic.

Under the FHI franchising programme, the three private clinics are given the authority and permission by FHI to act on their behalf by providing HIV/AIDS care and support in Ghana.

Performing the launching, Professor Amoa said he was hopeful that Rainbow network would expand access to comprehensive and quality HIV/AIDS care, treatment and support.
