The Western Regional Minister, Joseph Nelson, has expressed concern about the rising prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the country, despite significant efforts made to stop the spread of the pandemic and possibly eradicate it.
He stated that the pandemic has affected many people and must be addressed seriously, calling it "a matter of great concern." According to the Minister, Ghana had made significant strides following a long-standing campaign to combat HIV/AIDS. "This country suffered for many years with the campaign to deal with HIV/AIDS," he remarked.
Addressing a team led by Dr.
Kharmacelle Prosper Akanbong, Acting Director-General of the Ghana AIDS Commission (GAC), the Minister urged the commission to intensify its efforts against the pandemic, acknowledging the dangers associated with the deadly virus.
