Steps towards universal access beyond 2010
The report called for a clear set of actions to be taken by the international community including:
- renewing political and funding commitments to achieve universal access to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care;
- improving integration and linkages between HIV/AIDS and related services such as tuberculosis, maternal and child health, sexual health and harm reduction for drug users;
- strengthening health systems to achieve broader public health outcomes; and
- taking bold measures to address legal and structural barriers that increase HIV vulnerability, particularly for most-at-risk populations.
This call to action is consistent with the key strategies proposed by a broad range of stakeholders for the new Global Health Sector Strategy for HIV/AIDS, 2011-2015. WHO is developing the strategy which is meant to guide the next phase of the health sector response to HIV/AIDS, once discussed and ratified by the World Health Assembly next year.
