UNAIDS and the British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS formalized their partnership to support efforts to bring HIV treatment to all eligible people.
At the UNAIDS Headquarters in Geneva, UNAIDS Executive Director Michel SidibÂŽ and the head of the BC Centre Dr Julio Montaner, signed on 5 February a Memorandum of Understanding.
In 2013, UNAIDS launched the Treatment 2015 framework, which calls for intensified action and innovation to expedite treatment scale-up. To further the partnership the BC Centre has made a grant of CAD 270 000 to UNAIDS to support scientific modelling and advocacy activities to highlight the need for immediate investments in life-saving HIV treatment programmes.
