The United Nations has urged the Philippines to intensify its efforts in curbing the escalating number of HIV cases and enhancing treatment services across the nation. UN Assistant Secretary-General Christine Stegling underscored the critical importance of addressing the HIV epidemic during her recent visit to Manila. Stegling’s visit is part of a UN initiative aimed at supporting countries against HIV/AIDS and ensuring that affected populations receive the necessary care and support.

The event raised RM1.8 million in funds to help continue the pursuit of eradicating HIV/AIDS in Malaysia. It was held in conjunction with MAF’s 20th anniversary and World AIDS day. Mr Azman stated that the government fully supports the amendment of the Employment Act 1995 and the Industrial Relations Act 1967. He mentioned this in a speech at the event held at Sunway Resort Hotel. He further mentioned that the Malaysian AIDS Foundation and KSM are in the process of refining the proposal to reform this bill. The proposal also received support from the Ministry of Health (MOH), a few government-linked companies (GLCs) and stakeholders.
