President Goodluck Jonathan To Host African Summit On HIV/AIDS And Tuberculosis

Nigeria's president, Goodluck Jonathan will next week host other African heads of state and government to the Abuja +12 Summit on HIV/AIDS TB and other infectious diseases with the theme “Ownership, Accountability and Sustainability of HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Response in Africa: Past, Present and the Future.’’ 


Speaking on the summit, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, said the summit is a platform for African leaders to discuss HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria which are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality on the continent.

He said: "The main aim of the Abuja+12 Special Summit is to review the status of implementation of the declarations and frameworks for action from the 2000 Abuja Summit on Roll Back Malaria; the 2001 Abuja Summit on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Other Related Infectious Diseases (ORID); and the 2006 Special Summit on HIV/AIDS, TB and ORID."

“Confronted with the consequences of HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria and other related infectious diseases on population and development in Africa, the African Union organised a Summit of its Heads of States and Government on Roll Back Malaria in 2000 and Summit on HIV/AIDS, TB and other related Infectious Diseases in 2001.    These summits culminated in the Abuja Declarations of Commitment on Malaria and HIV/AIDS respectively. 

“Furthermore, they set a target of allocating at least 15 percent of their annual budgets to the improvement of the health sector. A follow up meeting was held in 2006 and these commitments were reaffirmed.”
