Fight COVID-19, Don’t Forget HIV – BONU

The union said they have noted that attention and resources have been shifted to COVID-19 affecting several services including those of HIV/AIDS.

“BONU has noted with concern the realisation that a lot of attention and resources have been shifted to the COVID-19 fight, and this has affected a lot of services including HIV services. This has grossly undermined the progress we have made as a country and threatened our efforts to have an HIV-free society. BONU urges and believes that if all stakeholders can all come to the party, especially the government, epidemics/pandemics like HIV/AIDS, COVID-19, malaria etc can be defeated,” BONU deputy secretary-general, Professional Affairs Kenosi Mogorosi said.
