Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Other Diseases
On Target 7, the PA has not yet set clear targets for HIV/AIDS. The challenge is to maintain the low incidence levels, build awareness on prevention, and provide assistance to the PA for a multi-sectoral approach to combating HIV/AIDS in the future.
Regarding target 8, Malaria has been eliminated in the oPt. However, the prevalence of malaria in neighboring countries requires close monitoring of mosquito breeding areas. For other communicable diseases such as polio and tuberculosis, the number of reported cases has been almost negligible. In addition, due to good coverage of vaccination programmes and the improvement in surveillance systems, it is likely that the target will be reached by 2015.
