01/09/2010 The Australian p.8



Notes:

• funding issues are barries of defending Sydney from HIV.


• 2.7 million new AIDS cases each year in the world.


• a reduction of finacial support this year.


• developing countries should act themselves.


• aimed at charities to do more about "keep the promise".

Summary:

Funding issues such as political choices and reduction of financial support are barries of defending Sydney from HIV. There are 2.7 million new AIDS cases each year in the world which requre medical and budgetary support. Developing countries are encouraged to act themselves not rely on foreign help. And charities are asked to do more to "keep the promise" of saving the lives of women and children.

Personal reflection:

As this article mentions that about 33 million people are living with AIDS. In my opinion, funding should get more support from the government due to this large number of sufferer and there is still no effective treatment available.
