Cuban president Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel today received the executive director of the Joint United Nations Program on HIV\/AIDS (UNAIDS), Winnie Byanyima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the X profile of the Presidency of Cuba, D\u00edaz-Canel spoke at the Palace of the Revolution with the high representative of the United Nations and presented ideas about the Cuban Strategy to address this disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also commented on the impact of the US blockade on the Cuban health system, which entails greater efforts for comprehensive care for people living with HIV\/AIDS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The head of state expressed his confidence in South-South cooperation in a world where conflicts prevail, the gap between rich and poor grows, and access to medicine in general is highly politicized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this sense, he denounced the way of operating of transnational companies dedicated to the trade of medicines and medical treatments that are not interested in people’s health, quite the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In dialogue with the presidential press, Byanyima recognized that Cuba is at the forefront in the fight against HIV\/AIDS and recalled that it was the first country in the world to eliminate the transmission of the disease from mothers to their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Byanyima is an advocate for social justice and gender equality, and leads UN efforts to end the HIV\/AIDS epidemic by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The executive director of the Joint United Nations Program on HIV\/AIDS will carry out a work agenda in Cuba that includes conversations with authorities from various spheres and visits to health and biopharmaceutical institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
