During recent years, in the eight countries of Eastern Europe (Albania, Bulgaria, The Czech-o-Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, USSR and Yugoslavia), the health situation has stagnated, or, in some areas, even deteriorated. The development trend of some common diseases and of risk factors emphasizes the uneven health development in Eastern Europe, and the increasing gap between health conditions in Eastern and Western Europe. The spread of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) started relatively late in Eastern Europe, but has recently increased markedly in several countries. Partly as a result of the rapidly changing social and economic conditions in Eastern European countries, a dynamic expansion of this epidemic is taking place, and a sharp increase in the number of people infected with HIV may be expected over the next years. Intensive cooperation between WHO and the individual countries in Eastern Europe has been initiated in the fields of health promotion and disease prevention. One element of this cooperation has been to produce comprehensive National Aids Control Programmes in all these countries. External support of the Aids Control Programmes in Eastern Europe can help to prevent a rapid development of the HIV epidemic, and, in addition, have a catalytic effect on the development of all aspects of the primary health service in these countries.
近年来，在东欧八国（阿尔巴尼亚、保加利亚、捷克斯洛伐克、匈牙利、波兰、罗马尼亚、苏联和南斯拉夫），卫生状况停滞不前，甚至在某些地区有所恶化。一些常见疾病和危险因素的发展趋势凸显了东欧卫生发展的不均衡，以及东欧和西欧卫生状况差距的不断扩大。人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）在东欧的传播起步相对较晚，但最近在几个国家显著增加。部分由于东欧国家社会经济状况迅速变化，这一流行病正呈动态蔓延之势，预计未来几年感染HIV的人数将急剧上升。世卫组织已与东欧各国在健康促进和疾病预防领域展开密切合作。这种合作的一个内容是在所有这些国家制定全面的国家艾滋病防治计划。对东欧艾滋病防治计划的外部支持有助于防止HIV疫情迅速发展，此外，还能对这些国家初级卫生服务各方面的发展起到催化作用。
