Marcela Valente
BUENOS AIRES, Nov 21 2005 (IPS) – In Haiti, the poorest country in the hemisphere, HIV prevalence fell in urban areas due to changes in sexual behaviour. But in the region as a whole, the number of people living with HIV, the AIDS virus, rose in 2005.
The good and bad news was announced by the AIDS Epidemic Update 2005 , the annual report by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organisation (WHO), whose Spanish language version was presented Monday in Buenos Aires.
Laurent Zessler, UNAIDS coordinator for the Southern Cone region (Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay), underlined that prevention is key to curbing the epidemic, and said governments and civil society are not providing the right solution.
According to the report, the number of people living with HIV in the region rose from 1.6 million to 1.8 million between 2003 and 2005. It also notes that 66,000 people died of AIDS in the past year wh…

Marwaan Macan-Markar
BANGKOK, Jul 26 2006 (IPS) – With its 900,000-strong army of public health volunteers and its spending of over 250 million U.S. dollars to help affected poultry farmers, Thailand was held up as a role model for combating the spread of the deadly bird flu. But the avian influenza virus has proved it has many tricks under its wings.
This week saw Thailand s impressive record of remaining free of the H5N1 strain of the virus for over seven months being shattered by a virus that continues to remain resilient. Following reports in mid-July that there was a bird flu outbreak in the poultry population in the northern province of Pitchit comes confirmation, Tuesday, that a 17-year-old boy has died of the disease. It brings the human fatalities to 15 out of 23 reported human cases of bird flu in Thailand since 2004.
Elsewhere in South-east Asia, this deadly virus is spreading in rural communities, with Indonesia being the worst hit. On Jul. 20, Jakarta…

United Nations agencies estimate that up to 250,000 people have either left or been forced from their homes since the violence broke out following Kenya s contested elections in December 2007.

KENYA: Claim Disputed that Trade Measures “Aid” Counterfeiters
Suleiman Mbatiah
NAIROBI, Jul 30 2010 (IPS) – A major pharmaceutical company in Kenya alleges that special trade measures to make medicines available in poor countries create loopholes for counterfeit medicines to enter the market a claim that health rights advocates refute.
Parallel importation of medicines creates loopholes for counterfeiters to bring counterfeit medicines into Kenya, alleged GlaxoSmithKline medical and regulatory affairs director in Kenya, Dr. William Mwatu, in an interview with IPS.
Mwatu said that unscrupulous profiteers use the legalisation of parallel importation of generic drugs to import counterfeits.
Kenya s Industrial Property Act of 2001 allows parallel importation under Section 58 (2). Parallel importation involves the legitimate importation of non-pirated goods without the permission of the rights holder. It is allowed under the World Trade Organisation s (WTO) Doha Declaration of 2001.
The main objective is to provid…
GUATEMALA: Little Headway against Rampant Malnutrition
Danilo Valladares
GUATEMALA CITY, Oct 14 2011 (IPS) – If we can manage it, we buy something at the butcher s every 15 days, even if it s only a bone, although we normally just eat maize and beans, says Marvin Fajardo, a small-scale farmer and father of three from the southern Guatemalan province of Escuintla.
Like Fajardo and his family, thousands of Guatemalan families subsist on a barely adequate diet based on maize, rice and beans because they cannot afford meat and dairy products, which are essential for physical growth and mental development.
People all across the country are in this plight, especially the indigenous majority in rural areas, leading in many cases to a state of chronic malnutrition in children that will stunt their growth and mark them for the rest of their lives.
As World Food Day approaches, celebrated Oct. 16, the Guatemalan population of 14 million has the highest rate of chronic in Latin America, at 49.3 percent of under-fives, a…
