HIV/AIDS in Pakistan is slowly gaining recognition as a public health issue of great importance. However, the responses to the disease have been marred by lack of coordination and commitment. We examine, in this paper, the situation in the Sindh province of Pakistan, which is recognized as having the sole fully functioning AIDS prevention and control programme in the country. In discussing the results of the Sindh programme's activities we highlight progress made as well as gaps in data and surveillance. We also recommend strategies for implementation at the provincial and national levels. In addition this example of a sub-national government programme provides a case study for similar programmes in the region.
在巴基斯坦，艾滋病正逐渐被视为一个极为重要的公共卫生问题。然而，对该疾病的应对却因缺乏协调与投入而受到影响。在本文中，我们研究了巴基斯坦信德省的情况，该省被认为是该国唯一拥有全面运作的艾滋病预防与控制项目的地区。在讨论信德省项目活动的结果时，我们突出了所取得的进展以及数据和监测方面的差距。我们还提出了在省级和国家层面实施的战略建议。此外，这个地方政府项目的案例为该地区类似项目提供了一个研究范例。
