World AIDS Day Observed in Yangon
        
     World AIDS Day was observed at the International
Business Centre on 1 December. Myanmar has launched
the anti-AIDS programme as national task since ten
years ago. The State Peace and Development Council
formed the Central Committee  with the leadership of
the National Health Committee and participation of
high-level officials of various ministries and members
of internal welfare associations. In realizing the
directions given by the Central Committee, the
respective departments under the Ministry of Health
are collectively implementing the anti-AIDS 
programmes; and  AIDS control measures have been
intensified not only in border areas but also in all
the States and Divisions. Myanmar is able to take
necessary control measures as projected as the country
has known the situation on the infection of the
disease, resulting from  the constant studies and
reports. Thus,  the nation  is able to control the
dreadful disease to a certain extent. The main aim of
the nation's AIDS control project is to disseminate
the knowledge on the infection of HIV and AIDS among
the people to enable  them to enjoy a healthy life.
The officials and guests visited the World Aids Day
Exhibition. World AIDS Day discussions were held.
Resource persons presented papers.
