Luanda — The institutions and activists involved in the fight of HIV/Aids need to intensify and improve the aid they extend to people living with the HIV virus.
This was said Thursday in Luanda by the coordinator of the National Network of Peoples Living with Hiv/Aids (RNP+Angola), António Leitão.
At the end of the meeting, António Leitão spoke of the need for an action of a major quality and depth, not only on the part of the Government, but of the whole civil society in the assistance to the HIV positive.
According to him, the meeting has also served to reinforce and consolidate the RNP-Angola at central and national levels concerning its structure and financial management.
He said it has also served to bring RNP-Angola closer to the Government and partners in the fight of the pandemics, aiming at promoting, expanding and strengthening the network.
The meeting that was attended by member of the national networks and people living with HIV from Brazil, Mozambique and from RNP-Angola's 18 focal points, has also served to evaluate the mechanisms for the creation of an environment for assistance to the HIV positive.
