Political Will Helping India's AIDS Battle - U.N.
June 30, 2008
By Bappa Majumdar
A strong political will was stimulating India's fight against AIDS, raising hopes of controlling its spread in the country with the world's third-largest caseload, the U.N.'s AIDS agency said.
Politicians were helping generate awareness among people, lobbying for HIV-related legislation and pushing for more resources to fight the deadly virus, the U.N. agency UNAIDS said in a report released by India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The agency's India head told Reuters politicians were taking a lot of responsibility and reaching out to people in remotest of areas.
