The national plan of action (NPA) for children affected by HIV and AIDS until 2010 with a vision to 2020

The Vietnam National Plan of Action for children affected by HIV/AIDS was developed to address shortcomings and challenges related to the protection of children affected by HIV/AIDS, and to respond to international commitments. Some major objectives of the Action Plan are to increase accessibility to and adequacy of health care and education services and social policies for children affected by HIV, to ensure that services specifically required by these children are available, of good quality, and child-oriented; to improve mechanisms for providing information, education, care, treatment and counseling for children affected by HIV/AIDS; and to create an enabling social environment for the protection and care of these children.
