UN agencies have welcomed a pledge by 12 African countries to end AIDS in children by 2030
This was made known at a meeting in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.
The first ministerial meeting of the Global Alliance to end AIDS in children marked a step up in action to ensure all boys and girls with HIV can access life-saving treatment, and that HIV-positive mothers can have babies free from the virus.
Ministers and representatives laid out plans which include providing testing to more pregnant women and linking them to care, as well as finding and caring for infants and children living with HIV.
