Mizoram budget to fight AIDS

  • The Mizoram government will make separate budgetary provision to fight the growing HIV/AIDS prevalence in the state, an official of the state health department said on Friday.
  • The official said health minister R. Lalthangliana told experts during a review meeting of integrated HIV/AIDS action plan here on Thursday that the government, apart from deciding to allocate a separate budget, is planning to fight AIDS on a war footing.
  •  
    Lalthangliana also asked experts to help the state government in fighting the growing spread of HIV/AIDS keeping in mind the mentality, culture and ethos of the local populace.
  • The minister also expressed hope that the review meeting, which involved the country’s top experts in the field, will chalk out a better action plan that effectively curbs the spread of HIV in Mizoram.
  • Organised jointly by the National AIDS Control Organisation (Naco), ministry of health and family welfare and Mizoram government, the two-day event concluded on Friday.
