Two centers launched for treating AIDS sufferers [Archives:2005/864/Local News]

SANA'A- Concerned government parties on Saturday July 30 started the necessary arrangements for launching two centers for AIDS treatment in Sana'a and Aden.

The program, which is funded by the World Fund for Combating AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, aims to offer medicine for HIV sufferers and follow up their health conditions.

Officials at the Ministry of Health and Population said the program will provide training for physicians and medical workers due to work at the two centers on how to dispatch drugs for AIDS sufferers that entered Yemen for the first time and specify the convenient doses.

The program, they added, has prepared an entire plan for purchasing and selecting drugs for AIDS treatment, as well as ensuring their quality. The program is due to issue a manual for HIV sufferers on how to take these drugs that are very expensive.

It is worth mentioning the Ministry of Health and Population signed last March an agreement with the World Fund for Combating AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria for supporting anti-AIDS precautions and fighting the epidemic in Yemen.
