WHO report says Faith-based organizations play a major role in HIV/AIDS care and treatment in sub-Saharan Africa

According to an important study released on Feb 8 by the World Health Organization (WHO) at the National Cathedral in Washington DC, efforts are needed to encourage greater collaboration between public health agencies and faith-based organizations (FBOs), if progress is to be made towards the goal of universal access towards HIV prevention, treatment, care and support by 2010.

Full details of the report Appreciating assets: mapping, understanding, translating and engaging religious health assets in Zambia and Lesotho can be found here.

Further information about Christian responses to HIV & AIDS can be found at the Christian HIV/AIDS Alliance and ICMDA HIV Initiative websites.
