Kenya Launches Plan to Offer Health Care to Those With HIV
Kenya has announced a one-year plan to provide more accessible and affordable specialized health care for people living with HIV, Capitol News reports.
“An HIV/AIDS-free society is our vision. The new strategic plan will aim to achieve universal access for quality integrated services,” said special programs minister Naomi Shaaban.
National AIDS Control Council (NACC) director Alloys Orago emphasized the need for the government to invest more funds into HIV/AIDS prevention activities, such as Voluntary Counseling and Testing centers. “The VCT testing will ensure that 80 percent of Kenyans will have known their status, which will be good for planning,” Orago said.
