Dr Chitalu Chilufya – Health Minister
Health minister Dr. Chitalu chilufya has dissolved the board of the National HIV/AIDS/STI/TB Council with immediate effect.
The action is provided for under section 6 of the national HIV/AIDS/STI/TB council act number 10 of 2002.
Dr. Chilufya says the reason the minister dissolved the national HIV/AIDS/STI/TB council is to reposition it so as to improve its efficacy in providing coherent multisectoral coordination as part of the escalated response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Mr. Ngosa says the minister will appoint the new board as soon as possible.
He has since thanked the outgoing council members for their diligent service to the country, during their tenure of office.
This is contained in a statement made available to q-news by ministry of health head communications and external relations Stanislaus Ngosa
