Sidibé’s vision is zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero Aids-related deaths which he has made the end goal of UNAIDS.

In a UNAIDS stament, Sedibé seeks for the elimination of new HIV infections among children by 2015.

During his stay, Sedibé will experience the progress made in the national response to HIV/Aids.

Isange One Stop Centre attends to the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV/Aids and the Family Package Programme. The center also provides treatment and care to victims of Gender-Based Violence.

During their visit at the center, officials were accompanied by Health Minister Agnes Binagwaho and Daniel Nyamwasa, the director of the Police Hospital.

Dr Nyamwasa noted,“The First Lady supports some of the programmes here that help persons infected with HIV/Aids, so it was an honour to have her and the UNAIDS envoy visit. We have established many strategies to help people living with HIV to come out of isolation and live positively.”

During his three-day visit, Sidibé will meet with President Paul Kagame and also meet with ministers and other delegates to discuss the progress and challenges surrounding Aids epidemic and its response.
