PAHO Official Calls for Regional Alliances against AIDS

Washington, June 28, 2001 (PAHO) -- The Pan American Health Organization
called today for regional alliances against HIV/AIDS at the highest
economic and political levels, and joint actions to fight the epidemic
through the Shared Agenda for Health in the Americas.
Dr. Mirta Roses Periago, assistant director of the Pan American Health
Organization, said in an interview, "Important gains in child health and
life expectancy in the continent are being swept back by AIDS, destroying
the efforts and investments of past decades. The poor get infected, and
those infected become poor and isolated by stigma and sickness, rejected
from schools and jobs."
