Separate budget on HIV expected to be provided

Next year’s budget will create a separate budget line to the fight against HIV, a member of parliament has revealed.

“The separate budget [line] will be part of the overall health budget and will be initiated [in 2014-15],” U Tin Maung Oo, secretary of the Pyithu Hluttaw Public Affairs Management Committee, said at a meeting with civil society leaders in Nay Pyi Taw on August 15.

The meeting was held to get feedback on the Association Law drafted by the committee and has become a growing concern in the NGO sector.

National NGO Network chair Daw Nwe Zin Win, who attended the August 15 meeting, said only a few details about the budget line were revealed.

“We have not discussed it exactly yet but the [HIV] budget will focus on anti-retroviral therapy and HIV testing,” she said.
