The report of AIDS activists said the situation of treating AIDS patients in poor countries is still very stagnant. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set a goal that by the end of 2005, three million people with HIV / AIDS in developing countries will be supported with medication, but the goal is called ' 3 above. 5 'This was not possible.
Dr. Kevin DeCock, director of the WHO's HIV / AIDS Prevention Agency, said countries must be more accountable for their fight against AIDS by setting a goal of treating their own countries. A new WHO five-year plan will help countries in five major technical areas, such as HIV testing and counseling; re-consolidate prevention activities; continue to strengthen treatment; strengthening the health system; and invest in inspection and supervision activities, and guide health agencies to respond to epidemics.
Meanwhile, the Thai Ministry of Health on November 29 has begun to enforce a regulation to abolish patent patents for five years for AIDS-specific drugs Efavirenz. Following that rule, the Thai Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPD) will conduct mass production of the low-cost version of Efavirenz for six months.
