&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
India&#039;s HIV control programme could soon get merged with the country&#039;s flagship National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), if the Planning Commission has its way.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Commission&#039;s steering committee on health for the 12th five-year Plan has proposed &amp;quot;incorporating AIDS control, universal healthcare and universal access to essential medicines&amp;quot; into NRHM.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Planning Commission member in-charge of health Syeda Hameed said, &amp;quot;It is a serious recommendation to incorporate NACO under an overall National Health Mission rather that a single vertical programme.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The proposal, however, has left both the Union health ministry and the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) unhappy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Union health secretary P K Pradhan said, &amp;quot;We have told the Planning Commission that this recommendation cannot work. AIDS control is a specialized issue, and needs focused attention.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Pradhan added that AIDS control cannot be carried out by Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Containing AIDS and HIV in India will require dealing with sex workers, injectible drug users, transgenders and men who have sex with men. It is a different clientele compared to the work that ANMs do now. We are not in favour of the merger,&amp;quot; Pradhan added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Hameed, however, disagrees.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
She argued, &amp;quot;It&#039;s all about training the ANMs on how to carry out AIDS control. We, however, don&#039;t want to burden them too much. The steering committee report will undergo three levels of approval. We are confident of pushing it through.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The steering committee report says &amp;quot;Impressive gains made by national health programs, including NRHM and other disease control programs, now need to be channeled to deliver Universal Healthcare in all urban and rural areas during the 12th Plan period.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
It adds, &amp;quot;The process should start during the first year of the plan itself with Universal Healthcare pilots being run in one district of each state and UT. Concurrently, the management structure of national health programmes needs to take steps to prepare for UHC. Key recommendations on this transition is reorienting from vertical disease based approach to a holistic, health promotion strategy based on strengthening of health systems.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The panel says the B K Chaturvedi Committee on Restructuring of Centrally Sponsored Schemes has also recommended merger of individual disease control programmes.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The NRHM governance structure should be used to provide leadership to all the national health programmes. Operations under national disease control programmes should be harmonized under NRHM so as to avoid duplication and provide convergent services in a cost-effective manner,&amp;quot; the report says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
India launched the first National AIDS Control Programme (NACP I) in 1992, while NACP II was initiated 1998. NACP III (2007-2012) was designed with the prime objective to &amp;quot;halt and reverse the HIV epidemic in India&amp;quot; by the end of the project.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
There has been a steady decline in overall prevalence, and nearly 50% dip in new infections over the last 10 years.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Most of NACP III was funded by external partners like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with domestic budgetary support to the department of AIDS control being less than 5% of the department&#039;s budget.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The estimated number of new annual HIV infections has declined by more than 50% over the past decade. It is estimated that India had approximately 1.2 lakh new HIV infections in 2009 as against 2.7 lakh in 2000.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Odisha, Bihar, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat account for 41% of new infections. The adult HIV prevalence at national level has continued its steady decline from estimated level of 0.41% in 2000 through 0.36% in 2006 to 0.31% in 2009.

Key recommendations on this transition is reorienting from vertical disease based approach to a holistic, health promotion strategy based on strengthening of health systems.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The panel says the B K Chaturvedi Committee on Restructuring of Centrally Sponsored Schemes has also recommended merger of individual disease control programmes.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The NRHM governance structure should be used to provide leadership to all the national health programmes. Operations under national disease control programmes should be harmonized under NRHM so as to avoid duplication and provide convergent services in a cost-effective manner,&amp;quot; the report says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
India launched the first National AIDS Control Programme (NACP I) in 1992, while NACP II was initiated 1998. NACP III (2007-2012) was designed with the prime objective to &amp;quot;halt and reverse the HIV epidemic in India&amp;quot; by the end of the project.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
There has been a steady decline in overall prevalence, and nearly 50% dip in new infections over the last 10 years.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Most of NACP III was funded by external partners like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with domestic budgetary support to the department of AIDS control being less than 5% of the department&#039;s budget.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The estimated number of new annual HIV infections has declined by more than 50% over the past decade. It is estimated that India had approximately 1.2 lakh new HIV infections in 2009 as against 2.7 lakh in 2000.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Odisha, Bihar, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat account for 41% of new infections. The adult HIV prevalence at national level has continued its steady decline from estimated level of 0.41% in 2000 through 0.36% in 2006 to 0.31% in 2009.

We, however, don&#039;t want to burden them too much. The steering committee report will undergo three levels of approval.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
India&#039;s HIV control programme could soon get merged with the country&#039;s flagship National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), if the Planning Commission has its way.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Commission&#039;s steering committee on health for the 12th five-year Plan has proposed &amp;quot;incorporating AIDS control, universal healthcare and universal access to essential medicines&amp;quot; into NRHM.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Planning Commission member in-charge of health Syeda Hameed said, &amp;quot;It is a serious recommendation to incorporate NACO under an overall National Health Mission rather that a single vertical programme.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The proposal, however, has left both the Union health ministry and the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) unhappy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Union health secretary P K Pradhan said, &amp;quot;We have told the Planning Commission that this recommendation cannot work. AIDS control is a specialized issue, and needs focused attention.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Pradhan added that AIDS control cannot be carried out by Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Containing AIDS and HIV in India will require dealing with sex workers, injectible drug users, transgenders and men who have sex with men. It is a different clientele compared to the work that ANMs do now. We are not in favour of the merger,&amp;quot; Pradhan added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Hameed, however, disagrees.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
She argued, &amp;quot;It&#039;s all about training the ANMs on how to carry out AIDS control. We, however, don&#039;t want to burden them too much. The steering committee report will undergo three levels of approval. We are confident of pushing it through.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The steering committee report says &amp;quot;Impressive gains made by national health programs, including NRHM and other disease control programs, now need to be channeled to deliver Universal Healthcare in all urban and rural areas during the 12th Plan period.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
It adds, &amp;quot;The process should start during the first year of the plan itself with Universal Healthcare pilots being run in one district of each state and UT. Concurrently, the management structure of national health programmes needs to take steps to prepare for UHC. Key recommendations on this transition is reorienting from vertical disease based approach to a holistic, health promotion strategy based on strengthening of health systems.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The panel says the B K Chaturvedi Committee on Restructuring of Centrally Sponsored Schemes has also recommended merger of individual disease control programmes.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The NRHM governance structure should be used to provide leadership to all the national health programmes. Operations under national disease control programmes should be harmonized under NRHM so as to avoid duplication and provide convergent services in a cost-effective manner,&amp;quot; the report says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
India launched the first National AIDS Control Programme (NACP I) in 1992, while NACP II was initiated 1998. NACP III (2007-2012) was designed with the prime objective to &amp;quot;halt and reverse the HIV epidemic in India&amp;quot; by the end of the project.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
There has been a steady decline in overall prevalence, and nearly 50% dip in new infections over the last 10 years.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Most of NACP III was funded by external partners like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with domestic budgetary support to the department of AIDS control being less than 5% of the department&#039;s budget.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The estimated number of new annual HIV infections has declined by more than 50% over the past decade. It is estimated that India had approximately 1.2 lakh new HIV infections in 2009 as against 2.7 lakh in 2000.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Odisha, Bihar, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat account for 41% of new infections. The adult HIV prevalence at national level has continued its steady decline from estimated level of 0.41% in 2000 through 0.36% in 2006 to 0.31% in 2009.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The panel says the B K Chaturvedi Committee on Restructuring of Centrally Sponsored Schemes has also recommended merger of individual disease control programmes.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The NRHM governance structure should be used to provide leadership to all the national health programmes. Operations under national disease control programmes should be harmonized under NRHM so as to avoid duplication and provide convergent services in a cost-effective manner,&amp;quot; the report says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
India launched the first National AIDS Control Programme (NACP I) in 1992, while NACP II was initiated 1998. NACP III (2007-2012) was designed with the prime objective to &amp;quot;halt and reverse the HIV epidemic in India&amp;quot; by the end of the project.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
There has been a steady decline in overall prevalence, and nearly 50% dip in new infections over the last 10 years.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Most of NACP III was funded by external partners like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with domestic budgetary support to the department of AIDS control being less than 5% of the department&#039;s budget.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The estimated number of new annual HIV infections has declined by more than 50% over the past decade. It is estimated that India had approximately 1.2 lakh new HIV infections in 2009 as against 2.7 lakh in 2000.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Odisha, Bihar, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat account for 41% of new infections. The adult HIV prevalence at national level has continued its steady decline from estimated level of 0.41% in 2000 through 0.36% in 2006 to 0.31% in 2009.

We, however, don&#039;t want to burden them too much. The steering committee report will undergo three levels of approval. We are confident of pushing it through.&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;The steering committee report says &amp;quot;Impressive gains made by national health programs, including NRHM and other disease control programs, now need to be channeled to deliver Universal Healthcare in all urban and rural areas during the 12th Plan period.&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;It adds, &amp;quot;The process should start during the first year of the plan itself with Universal Healthcare pilots being run in one district of each state and UT.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
India&#039;s HIV control programme could soon get merged with the country&#039;s flagship National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), if the Planning Commission has its way.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Commission&#039;s steering committee on health for the 12th five-year Plan has proposed &amp;quot;incorporating AIDS control, universal healthcare and universal access to essential medicines&amp;quot; into NRHM.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Planning Commission member in-charge of health Syeda Hameed said, &amp;quot;It is a serious recommendation to incorporate NACO under an overall National Health Mission rather that a single vertical programme.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The proposal, however, has left both the Union health ministry and the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) unhappy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Union health secretary P K Pradhan said, &amp;quot;We have told the Planning Commission that this recommendation cannot work. AIDS control is a specialized issue, and needs focused attention.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Pradhan added that AIDS control cannot be carried out by Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Containing AIDS and HIV in India will require dealing with sex workers, injectible drug users, transgenders and men who have sex with men. It is a different clientele compared to the work that ANMs do now. We are not in favour of the merger,&amp;quot; Pradhan added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Hameed, however, disagrees.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
She argued, &amp;quot;It&#039;s all about training the ANMs on how to carry out AIDS control. We, however, don&#039;t want to burden them too much. The steering committee report will undergo three levels of approval. We are confident of pushing it through.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The steering committee report says &amp;quot;Impressive gains made by national health programs, including NRHM and other disease control programs, now need to be channeled to deliver Universal Healthcare in all urban and rural areas during the 12th Plan period.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
It adds, &amp;quot;The process should start during the first year of the plan itself with Universal Healthcare pilots being run in one district of each state and UT. Concurrently, the management structure of national health programmes needs to take steps to prepare for UHC. Key recommendations on this transition is reorienting from vertical disease based approach to a holistic, health promotion strategy based on strengthening of health systems.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The panel says the B K Chaturvedi Committee on Restructuring of Centrally Sponsored Schemes has also recommended merger of individual disease control programmes.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The NRHM governance structure should be used to provide leadership to all the national health programmes. Operations under national disease control programmes should be harmonized under NRHM so as to avoid duplication and provide convergent services in a cost-effective manner,&amp;quot; the report says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
India launched the first National AIDS Control Programme (NACP I) in 1992, while NACP II was initiated 1998. NACP III (2007-2012) was designed with the prime objective to &amp;quot;halt and reverse the HIV epidemic in India&amp;quot; by the end of the project.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
There has been a steady decline in overall prevalence, and nearly 50% dip in new infections over the last 10 years.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Most of NACP III was funded by external partners like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with domestic budgetary support to the department of AIDS control being less than 5% of the department&#039;s budget.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The estimated number of new annual HIV infections has declined by more than 50% over the past decade. It is estimated that India had approximately 1.2 lakh new HIV infections in 2009 as against 2.7 lakh in 2000.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Odisha, Bihar, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat account for 41% of new infections. The adult HIV prevalence at national level has continued its steady decline from estimated level of 0.41% in 2000 through 0.36% in 2006 to 0.31% in 2009.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The NRHM governance structure should be used to provide leadership to all the national health programmes. Operations under national disease control programmes should be harmonized under NRHM so as to avoid duplication and provide convergent services in a cost-effective manner,&amp;quot; the report says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
India launched the first National AIDS Control Programme (NACP I) in 1992, while NACP II was initiated 1998. NACP III (2007-2012) was designed with the prime objective to &amp;quot;halt and reverse the HIV epidemic in India&amp;quot; by the end of the project.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
There has been a steady decline in overall prevalence, and nearly 50% dip in new infections over the last 10 years.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Most of NACP III was funded by external partners like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with domestic budgetary support to the department of AIDS control being less than 5% of the department&#039;s budget.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The estimated number of new annual HIV infections has declined by more than 50% over the past decade. It is estimated that India had approximately 1.2 lakh new HIV infections in 2009 as against 2.7 lakh in 2000.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Odisha, Bihar, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat account for 41% of new infections. The adult HIV prevalence at national level has continued its steady decline from estimated level of 0.41% in 2000 through 0.36% in 2006 to 0.31% in 2009.

Plan panel bats for merger of AIDS control with NRHM by Kounteya Sinha

India's HIV control programme could soon get merged with the country's flagship National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), if the Planning Commission has its way. The Commission's steering committee on health for the 12th five-year Plan has proposed "incorporating AIDS control, universal healthcare and universal access to essential medicines" into NRHM. Planning Commission member in-charge of health Syeda Hameed said, "It is a serious recommendation to incorporate NACO under an overall National Health Mission rather that a single vertical programme." The proposal, however, has left both the Union health ministry and the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) unhappy. Union health secretary P K Pradhan said, "We have told the Planning Commission that this recommendation cannot work. AIDS control is a specialized issue, and needs focused attention." Pradhan added that AIDS control cannot be carried out by Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs). "Containing AIDS and HIV in India will require dealing with sex workers, injectible drug users, transgenders and men who have sex with men. It is a different clientele compared to the work that ANMs do now. We are not in favour of the merger," Pradhan added. Hameed, however, disagrees. She argued, "It's all about training the ANMs on how to carry out AIDS control. We, however, don't want to burden them too much. The steering committee report will undergo three levels of approval. We are confident of pushing it through." The steering committee report says "Impressive gains made by national health programs, including NRHM and other disease control programs, now need to be channeled to deliver Universal Healthcare in all urban and rural areas during the 12th Plan period." It adds, "The process should start during the first year of the plan itself with Universal Healthcare pilots being run in one district of each state and UT. Concurrently, the management structure of national health programmes needs to take steps to prepare for UHC. Key recommendations on this transition is reorienting from vertical disease based approach to a holistic, health promotion strategy based on strengthening of health systems." The panel says the B K Chaturvedi Committee on Restructuring of Centrally Sponsored Schemes has also recommended merger of individual disease control programmes. "The NRHM governance structure should be used to provide leadership to all the national health programmes. Operations under national disease control programmes should be harmonized under NRHM so as to avoid duplication and provide convergent services in a cost-effective manner," the report says. India launched the first National AIDS Control Programme (NACP I) in 1992, while NACP II was initiated 1998. NACP III (2007-2012) was designed with the prime objective to "halt and reverse the HIV epidemic in India" by the end of the project. There has been a steady decline in overall prevalence, and nearly 50% dip in new infections over the last 10 years. Most of NACP III was funded by external partners like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with domestic budgetary support to the department of AIDS control being less than 5% of the department's budget. The estimated number of new annual HIV infections has declined by more than 50% over the past decade. It is estimated that India had approximately 1.2 lakh new HIV infections in 2009 as against 2.7 lakh in 2000. Odisha, Bihar, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat account for 41% of new infections. The adult HIV prevalence at national level has continued its steady decline from estimated level of 0.41% in 2000 through 0.36% in 2006 to 0.31% in 2009.
