Giving a speech on the occasion, Mohamed Arfan, NPAC Coordinator, emphasized the importance of establishing coordination among civil society organizations, public health and population organizations, and the social affairs and labor ministries as another way of heightening awareness among Yemenis about the risk of AIDS.
