Declining donor support is likely to affect the attainment of global millennium development health targets including those of HIVAIDS, the World Health Organisation –WHO has said.
WHO says the UN Millennium development goal of having 15 million HIV positive people on antiretroviral treatment by 2015, will not be met mainly as a result of serious financial constraints facing major donors and governments.
Speaking at the start of the annual World Health Assembly in Geneva, WHO Director General Margaret Chan said cutting support for diseases such as HIVAIDS can be dangerous.
Dr Chan said WHO is supporting the development of low cost health care innovations to deliver primary health care services especially in developed countries.
