The Asia-Pacific region has registered impressive progress on many Millennium Development Goal (MDG) indicators, but is still lagging on some important targets, particularly those related to health.

PPTCT Millenium Development Goals
Potential Contributions of PTCT of HIV and CS Elimination toward Health Related MDGs
Understanding concurrent MNCH initiatives helps place PPTCT and ECS targets in the context of broader MNCH and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) agendas. Generating synergies between HIV and broader health and human development efforts represents a major opportunity for the PPTCT and ECS elimination initiatives. Comprehensive efforts to eliminate new paediatric HIV infections and CS mayalso contribute toward achieving MDGs 4, 5, and 6 (Table 1).

Thailand’s Response to HIV/AIDS: Progress and Challenges - Thematic MDG Report. UNDP (2004)
| Thailand has shown that a well-funded, politicallysupported and shrewdly-implemented response can change the course of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

The national adult HIV prevalence continues to edge lower, with the latest estimates pegging it at a little over 1.5 percent at the end of 2003. Download this publication |
