HENAN province was once the darkest spot on the nation's HIV/AIDS landscape.
Now the province is the shining example on setting up a comprehensive
healthcare system to fight the disease.
For 10 years, ever since the first case was reported in the mid-1990s, the
Central China province has been in the glare of national and international
media: for illegal blood sales, infections transmitted through contaminated
blood, tardy reporting of cases and poor medical care as well as the sheer
suffering of victims.
But now, the nation's most populous province, with nearly 30,000 reported
cases of HIV/AIDS, has set up a dependable system to fight the epidemic.
A province-wide system of epidemic surveillance, prevention, treatment and
welfare support is in place. — China Daily.
