Capacity building in battle vs HIV/AIDS

A limited health work force and inadequate human resources were some of the biggest problems faced to tackle HIV/AIDS in the country, according to health officials. This lacuna was followed by a lack of core competency to provide capacity building of other stakeholders to fight HIV/AIDS and inadequate research capacity for evidence-based programming. With about 144 cases reported until today, an increasing trend of HIV/AIDS infection was seen with 37 cases detected in 2007 alone.
