Cameroon to Eradicate HIV-AIDS as a Public Health problem.
Cameroon has set forth a resolute commitment to eradicate HIV/AIDS as a public health threat by the year 2030. This groundbreaking initiative spearheaded by the Ministry of Public Health, aligns with the global strategy to end AIDS as a public health menace, encapsulated in the “UNAIDS 90-90-90” targets.
The UNAIDS 90-90-90 vision encompasses achieving the following milestones: 90% of individuals with HIV knowing their status, 90% of those aware of their HIV-positive status receiving antiretroviral therapy, and 90% of those on antiretroviral therapy attaining viral suppression.
To realize this audacious goal, the Cameroonian government has outlined a comprehensive plan anchored in three pivotal pillars:
This ambitious plan’s successful implementation demands concerted efforts from the government, healthcare providers, community organizations, and individuals. The government has underscored its commitment by allocating substantial resources to combat HIV/AIDS, urging all stakeholders to collaborate in pursuit of this shared objective.
Dr. Manaouda, addressing the press, emphasized, “In the context of eradicating HIV/AIDS by 2030, we, as members of the national coordination and decision-making body on the HIV/AIDS response in Cameroon, have an obligation to provide concrete solutions to the concerns of our infected and/or affected fellow citizens.”
The program extends its reach to safeguard infants and teenagers, particularly focusing on preventing mother-to-baby transmission, thereby eradicating HIV at its roots.
Beyond being a humanitarian imperative, eliminating HIV/AIDS as a public health threat in Cameroon signifies a critical stride toward national development goals. By alleviating the burden of HIV/AIDS, Cameroon aspires to cultivate a healthier, more productive, and prosperous society for all its citizens.
