December 1 is World AIDS Day.
It was designated with an eye to promoting public awareness of the danger of HIV/AIDS and triggering change from the policy-level to community-driven action.
According to experts, tens of millions of people are suffering from this disease and hundreds of thousands die of it annually.
Last year alone witnessed 690 000 deaths from HIV/AIDS-related causes and 1.7 million contracted cases.
The disease continues to be a major global health problem, despite significant progress made in the combat against it since the late 1990s.
That’s why the United Nations set World AIDS Day and has arranged a variety of events dedicated to preventing its spread.
The theme for World AIDS Day 2020 is “Global solidarity – shared responsibility”.
It is an appeal to all the nations and peoples for feeling their responsibility in the effort against HIV/AIDS.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is posing a serious obstacle in the way of its prevention, testing and treatment.
The epidemic also constitutes a challenge and encumbrance to countries in the provision of necessary assistance.
As regards this, WHO called upon the governments, organizations, public establishments and individuals of each country to cooperate with each other to fulfil their responsibility in the face of the lingering global health crisis.
