- W54410599 abstract "Ghana's response to AIDS lacks high-level political commitment. This complacency is dangerous. Since 1986 about 16,000 AIDS cases in Ghana have been reported. HIV infection affects about 4% of the adult population; 2-4% of women at prenatal clinics and 6-8% of sexually transmitted disease (STD) patients are infected. Ghana's annual economic growth of 5% induces rural-urban migration and the spread of prostitution. The National Technical Committee on AIDS was formed in 1985, and the first plan of action ran from 1989 to 1993. It covered information, education, and communication, safety of blood supply, and training for health workers in AIDS care. A 1993 survey showed that 90-95% of people know that AIDS is an STD, but only 20% had ever used condoms. The National AIDS Program (NAP) experienced delay in getting its second medium-term plan finalized once the first plan expired in 1993. About 80% of NAP is financed by external donors, and similarly, a greater part of Ghana's health budget is financed externally. International financial institutions have put pressure on Ghana to boost its economic performance as a favorite model. This also means that while the government focuses on economic growth, social sectors are less well-cared for. NAP developed an AIDS impact model to try to get more government help, but without much success. The ministries of education and agriculture carry out some AIDS work, but other activities remain minimal. The minister of health has instituted an annual AIDS awareness month and exempted AIDS patients from paying hospital fees. The AIDS awareness month is each November just prior to World AIDS Day. Despite the availability of donor money, the existing infrastructure cannot absorb it. The main indicator of progress about AIDS is the increased openness about sexual issues. Religious leaders have been silently supportive of condom promotion, and its use is increasing." @default.
