The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the world total of AIDS cases will reach 300,000 by the end of 1988 and 500,000 to 3 million over the next 5 years. AIDS is of special concern to developing countries with their limited, stressed health care systems and the other serious health problems of their populations. Also, AIDS usually strikes the young and productive adults that the economies of these countries can least afford to lose. The Surgeon General of the Public Health Service has challenged the United Nations to make the world's blood supply safe by 1991. Private and public sector leaders could come together, apply the technology and resources available in industrialized countries, and achieve a victory in this facet of the AIDS pandemic. The WHO's global strategy has led to the establishment of national AIDS committees in 151 countries and the preparation of 70 short-term (6-12 months) plans and 25 medium-term (3-5 years) plans for national AIDS control programs.
世界卫生组织（WHO）估计，到1988年底，全球艾滋病病例总数将达到30万，在未来5年内将达到50万至300万。艾滋病尤其令发展中国家担忧，因为它们的医疗保健系统有限且压力重重，其民众还面临其他严重的健康问题。此外，艾滋病通常侵袭年轻且有生产力的成年人，而这些国家的经济最承受不起失去他们。公共卫生服务局局长向联合国提出挑战，要求在1991年前确保全球血液供应安全。私营和公共部门的领导人可以联合起来，运用工业化国家现有的技术和资源，在艾滋病大流行的这一方面取得胜利。世卫组织的全球战略已促使151个国家成立了国家艾滋病委员会，并为国家艾滋病控制项目制定了70项短期（6至12个月）计划和25项中期（3至5年）计划。
