World Aids Day

Every year since 1988 the 1st of December has been designated as World Aids Day. This day is dedicated to raising awareness of the Aids pandemic to remember those we lost to the disease. Let us not forget all the children that have been affected as a result. #WorldAIDSDay
In 2015, global leaders signed up to the Sustainable Development Goals, with the aim to achieve universal health coverage (UHC) by 2030. The UHC framework now lies at the centre of all health programmes.

To complement the global World AIDS Day 2017 campaign which promotes the theme "Right to health", the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund would like to highlight the need for people living with HIV and those who are vulnerable and affected by the epidemic, to reach the goal of universal health coverage.
Under the slogan "Everybody counts", the Fund advocate for access to safe, effective, quality and affordable medicines, as well as health care services for all people in need, while also ensuring that their overall well-being is prioritised.
