The Future of HIV/AIDS Is Decided Next Week - Is Anyone Listening?
The Huffington Post - "The 69th World Health Assembly (WHA) next week will see all eyes on the WHO again after a turbulent couple of years. Condemned for its failings in the global response to Ebola, stuck in a process of reform that everyone agrees is needed but no-one knows how, and on the brink of declaring yellow fever a public health emergency of international concern, things are hotting up for the election of the new Director General.
Given all of these issues it is easy to overlook some of the more detailed aspects of the WHA69 agenda - the strategies and documents the assembly is set to discuss and approve. One of these strategies - buried as item 15.1 - is the Draft Strategy for HIV/AIDS 2016-2012. This strategy sets out the future of the global response to the epidemic." (by Sophie Harman)
