Description
UNAIDS estimates that there are more than 35 million people infected with the AIDS virus around the globe. More than 24 million of them live in Sub-Saharan African countries. The Central African Republic is hard hit with more than 14% of its young adults afflicted with the disease. Health institutions are exhausted from overcrowding and lack of appropriate drugs to help AIDS patients. UN agencies, including WHO, are organizing information campaigns to inform people of the latest treatments available in the fight against AIDS. This topic will be addressed at a special session of the UN General Assembly in New York this month.(4'03)
