The World Health Organization expressed their concern over the rising threat of HIV in Southeast Asian countries, calling for a public health approach to combat the threat with "an effective response."
"Countries have demonstrated that implementing an effective response is feasible, both to halt and reserve epidemics and to provide services to those in need," addressed WHO Regional Director for Southeast Asia Samlee Plianbangchang the audience during the 61st meeting of WHO’s Regional Committee for Southesat Asia held in New Delhi, India. The committee consists of 11 Asian countries deliberating on several key health issues related to HIV.
WHO Regional Health Advisor Ilsa Nelwan added that India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Myanmar collectively contribute to 98 percent of all maternal and newborn deaths in the region, while Southeast Asia contributes to one-third of the global maternal and newborn deaths. In an estimated 37 million childbirths a year, nearly 1.3 million children die in the first month itself, along with over one million cases of stillbirths.
Meanwhile, an estimate 3.6 million people in the region are living with HIV. This is the second most affected region in the world after Africa. In India alone, about 2.5 million people are estimated to be affected by HIV. HIV-associated deaths in 2007 is estimated around 300,000 cases, while there could be 260,000 new HIV infection at that same time frame.
Nelwan also emphasized that involving different NGOs and interest groups would bring positive change in the healh care center scenario in the region.

I must say, as considerably as I enjoyed reading what you had to say, I couldnt help but lose interest after a while. Its as if you had a wonderful grasp on the topic matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you should think about this from much more than 1 angle. Or maybe you shouldnt generalise so significantly. Its better if you think about what others may have to say instead of just heading for a gut reaction to the topic. Think about adjusting your personal believed process and giving others who may read this the benefit of the doubt.

This is among the many factors why I keep heading back to this weblog. This article is an abundance of expertise and I can’t wait to commence using them. I love how it is apparent that you took a great number of time and effort in investigating. I hate it when I study articles that are 600 words long but are missing in message. It is like they just want to catch you in and they’re not really offering something compelling. So thanks a lot!
