In Ghana, the target for this year’s celebration is to enhance and advocate for leadership and accountability to address the HIV epidemic in Ghana at all levels by engaging everybody in decision making at the national, regional, district, community, family and individual levels; help to reduce stigma and discrimination and help increase counselling and testing services.
As part of the activities, the Ghana Aids Commission will sponsor a nation­
wide HIV/AIDS campaign dubbed, “Know your status”, which is being undertaken by the Ministry of Health (MoH) to encourage more people to avail themselves for voluntary testing.
Professor Sai said issues about women were critical and that no leadership at the governmental level, for instance, needed to toy with them because of the peculiar role women played in national development.
In a speech read on his behalf, Vice­President Aliu Mahama said, “Ghana, fortunately, is still not as badly affected as some sister African countries. However, the disease has claimed a cumulative death of about 200,000 Ghanaians and this is stark warning to us that if we do not prevent it now, many more lives will be lost without treatment.” Alhaji Mahama stressed the need for the introduction of measures to improve access to care for the infected and increase awareness of HIV­related burden that was usually shouldered by women, girls and the aged.
The Director­General of the Ghana AIDS Commission (GAC), Prof Sakyi Awuku Amoa, in an address, said the commission was conscious of the fact that the country had not been able to achieve much in the area of behavioural change and called for more support from all.
He said government continued to give attention to the low prevalence rate of the infection in the country, saying so far all district hospitals provided anti­retroviral therapy for PLHIV across the country.
