Editor's Notes
- To end this presentation on a positive note, I will focus on Ukraine`s AIDS response, which reflects how to effectively address each of the four links between epidemiology and human rights. Ukraine made concerted efforts to improve knowledge of its epidemicย with a comprehensive surveillance plan, initiated in the mid 1990s. Involvement of the health sector, NGOs and IDU communities has been key to making this surveillance plan a success and ensuring robust epidemiological data. It responded to the epidemiological information by scaling up evidence-based prevention and treatment interventions for people who use drugs (including needle and syringe exchange programmes and โ since 2004 - opioid substitution therapy). After ten years of consistent growth, the number of officially reported new cases of HIV has been decreasing among IDUs slowly but steadily since 2007. The success of the Ukrainian AIDS response is also reflected in significant decreases โ more than twice (since 2004) in HIV prevalence among IDUs with a recent history of injection of drugs. Success is also grounded on closer collaboration among the health sector, law enforcement, IDU communities and NGOs; however, only 35% of the estimated number of IDUs have access to these services and these programmes are not available in Ukrainian prisons. Ukraine must build on its initialย success by strengthening human rights protections and expanding evidence-based interventions for IDUs and other vulnerable groups.
- ``Health and human rights are ... two entirely complementary ways of speaking aboutโand working to ameliorateโhuman suffering in all its forms. We share a confidence in the futureโ and in our ability to contributeโ each in our own ways and yet together, to the healing of the worldโ This has never sounded more important, or true. UNGASS So it's now time to join our efforts to make this a reality.
