NAC scales up prisons campaign

BY VARAIDZO MUDEWAIRI
THE National Aids Council (Nac) has pledged to commit more resources towards fighting HIV and Aids in prisons as part of efforts to eradicate the virus in the country by 2030.

Addressing a stakeholders meeting in Victoria Falls last week, Nac chief executive officer Bernard Madzima said: “We continue to give HIV the priority that it deserves and continue to facilitate access of HIV services to the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) as HIV and Aids is a threat to efficient effective delivery of our services. It also undermines the ability of our institutions to attain goals of national development.”
