Health Policy Watch "UNAIDS hailed a new political roadmap to end HIV/AIDS by 2030 as a “major feat”, but admitted that its implementation would remain a challenge – along with devising ways to measure how inequalities in access to prevention and treatment are reduced for people and groups most at risk. (...) Despite opposition from Russia, UN Member States voted this week overwhelmingly in favour of the declaration which is a roadmap for combatting the disease over the coming years. Byanyima said the targets contained in the declaration were iprepared by UNAIDS using an “inequalities” lens."
