The Country Director of the United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS), Dr Girmay Haile, has commended Ghana for the successes it has chalked up so far in its HIV and AIDS control campaigns.?
Ghana is one of 25 low-to-middle-income countries, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, with a 50% reduction in the rate of new HIV infections each year.
Dr Haile made the commendation when some personalities, including ministers of state, actors and actresses, as well as diplomats, joined in the signing of the UNAIDS Protect the Goal (PtG) campaign.

The campaign is aimed at achieving targets of zero new infections and eliminating discrimination and AIDS-related deaths by 2015.
