BARCELONA, Spain, CMC - Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries Monday appealed for continued international financial assistance to deal with the HIV-AIDS epidemic.
In an addressing commemorating the 10th anniversary of the XIV AIDS Conference here, St. Kitts-Nevis Prime Minister Dr. Denzil Douglas, who has responsibility for health issues within the 15-member CARICOM grouping, said a decade after signing an accord with six pharmaceutical companies in Barcelona, “we can truly and optimistically pronounce the aspirational goal to achieve an AIDS-free generation”.
He said the combination of scientific- biomedical and behavioural – research; passionate advocacy of civil society and creative leadership, had also contributed to the achievement.
