Marc Angel calls to accelerate momentum towards achieving the 90-90-90 treatment targets
Ahead of the mid-term review of the 90–90–90 treatment targets in 2017, Marc Angel, Chair of Foreign Affairs and Development Committee of the Luxembourg Parliament and UNAIDS Champion for the 90-90-90 targets, undertook a multicountry fact-finding visit to Botswana, South Africa and Lesotho from 17 to 21 April. The visit provided Mr Angel with the opportunity to conduct high-level political advocacy to continue and accelerate momentum towards achieving 90–90–90 by 2020.
The fact-finding visits to southern Africa confirmed the importance of intensifying efforts to increase the proportion of people living with HIV who know their HIV status. In addition, the visits highlighted the central importance of community health workers, both to achieve the 90–90–90 targets and to ensure national preparedness to identify and address emerging health challenges.
