"Keep the promise
-leadership" is this year's theme for World AIDS Day
(WAD) this on December 1.
The young people of Milne Bay province are leading the
battle against HIV by organising WAD celebrations with
the Provincial AIDS Committee (PAC).
Dr Noel Yaubihi (PAC Chairman and Alotau Hospital
Director) said "the nerve centre for this battle is the
brand new purpose built PAC office, funded by the
national AIDS council showing they are keeping their
promise."
Young nursing students from St Barnabos School of
Nursing have organised a march through the streets of
Alotau starting at 8:00am with the unofficial opening of
the new PAC building. The march ends at the local market
where the nursing students will talk with the public on
how to fight HIV.
Dr. Yaubihi said "the governor of Milne Bay Hon. John
Luk has endorsed through the Provincial Executive
Committee all the Districts Strategic Plans on HIV/AIDS
to be rolled out from our new office in 2008."
"Our motto is 'HIV AIDS is everyone's business' so we're
making HIV our business" said Dr. Yaubihi.
"I and the PAC executive would like to invite the whole
province to our celebrations. It is important to
remember the inspirational quote by Winston Churchill;
Never, never, never, never give-up! As only this will
give us victory in our battle against HIV" said Dr.
Yaubihi.
