The persistence of Stigma and discrimination towards those living with HIV/AIDS remains an area of concern for officials within the National Health Sector.
This is according to Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Luis DeShong, speaking on Wednesday at a Ceremony to launch activities for World AIDS Day.
He noted that the HIV/AIDS epidemic has highlighted that addressing ill health is an intricate part of our developmental agenda.
Meanwhile, Chairman of the HIV/AIDS Committee, Mr. Winfield Tannis Abbott in his remarks at the ceremony, called on Vincentians to lend their voices and speak out when persons living with HIV/AIDS are treated unjustly.
