The United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) on Wednesday lauded Kenya for making good progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS in the country.

Medhin Tsehaiu, new Country Director of the UNAIDS, urged Kenya to adopt innovative approaches that appeal more to the youth, who are a high-risk population.

“I have to congratulate you for your leadership and commitment in our efforts to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV. We are so grateful for the support the Kenyan First Lady, Margaret Kenyatta, gave when we held talks in Nairobi,’’ Tsehaiu said.

Tsehaiu also commended First Lady Kenyatta for her leading role in the fight against the disease in the country.

Tsehaiu, who was appointed in July said the First Lady through the Beyond Zero Initiative, has contributed significantly to the reduction of new HIV infections, especially the mother-to-child transmission of the virus.

“The country is moving on the right track because of the commitment and good leadership. As we approach the last mile, we need to do things differently and in an innovative way.’’

During the meeting, Kenyatta assured the country director of her firm commitment to the fight against HIV/AIDS.

“As always, you can count on my support as regards this noble initiative. The successes achieved in recent years, including the reduction in infections among adults by more than half from 101,000 to 46,000 cases in 2018, should be sustained,’’ Kenyatta said.

  1. Heya excellent website! Does running a blog similar to
    this take a lot of work? I have very little understanding of computer programming
    however I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
    Anyhow, should you have any suggestions or tips for new blog owners please share.
    I know this is off topic however I just had to ask. Kudos!

  2. You can definitely see your skills in the article you write.

  3. Fantastic blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.

  4. I got this website from my buddy who informed me regarding this website and at the moment
    this time I am visiting this site and reading very informative
    articles or reviews at this time.

  5. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the
    page layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got
    to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  6. I simply want to tell you that I’m new to blogging and site-building and really liked this blog. Likely I’m want to bookmark your site . You actually have excellent well written articles. Thanks a bunch for sharing your blog.

  7. One other important component is that if you are an elderly person, travel insurance intended for pensioners is something you need to really think about. The older you are, a lot more at risk you will be for having something awful happen to you while in foreign countries. If you are not necessarily covered by many comprehensive insurance, you could have a few serious troubles. Thanks for expressing your good tips on this web blog.

  8. I haven’t checked in here for some time because I thought it was getting boring, but the last several posts are good quality so I guess I’ll add you back to my everyday bloglist. You deserve it my friend 🙂
