Luena

Health authorities in eastern Moxico province are concerned about the relaxation in the implementation of actions to fight Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and HIV/Aids in the region.

Angop learnt from the supervisor of the provincial programme on fight against STDs, Gloria Muhangueno, during a meeting held last Thursday in Luena, with State-owned institutions and non-governmental organisations involved.

Representatives of partner organisations attending the meeting pointed out the lack of financial and material support as the main cause of the reduction of actions under the programme. The lack of activity of the Provincial Commission for fight against Hiv/Aids and the lack of a follow-up by the organs concerned were, among other factors, mentioned as the reason for the unsuccessful work.

After being briefed on the constraints facing the partners, the official pledged to analyse the issue with the officials in charge, with a view to reactivating the activities.
