The joined program common of the nations in HIV/AIDS, where the significant effort was focused, is harmful systems of the health and to distort the financing of the health, writes Roger England, president of the net of the systems of the health, in a characteristic of the sight & the set free revision May in 9, 2008 in BMJ. Consequence, it believes that UNAIDS must immediately be closed for low.

It writes that the amount spent in the HIV in the comparison that the amount spent in other illnesses in disproportionate. Instead, England believes that the money would improve invested in efforts as strengthening general services of health, and in the action financing for other illnesses, such as the pneumonia and diabetes, that they kill more peoples and they could have had more efficient tactics of the intervention.

The HIV explains global 3,7% of mortality. However, 25% of dae (automatic device of entrance) of the health and a great ratio of the domestic expenditure are placed for interventions of the HIV. England points with respect to is of that catastrophe global predicted a time with the AIDS epidemic did not occur, and in the comparison it extracts the attention to the fact that the global deaths of the HIV do not reach the number of the deaths of the children under five years old in India. It demands that its recognition with a division of the UN, the illness if transformed more of the one than only one ailment to hinder and if to cure. “with its proper agency of UN, HIV a economic sector was dealt as better that an illness.”

England argues that billions of the pounds had been wasted for commissions national of the AIDS in the Joined Kingdom and in financing of projects and of you discipline obscure. This money must be used strengthen systems of the public health in the countries becoming that they could obtain controlled transmission of the HIV.

Beyond, it says, the paid enormous attention to the HIV in the terms of dae (automatic device of entrance) created the parallel systems of the financing, the structures of the job and the installations organizational that have total weakened national systems of the health and put the so necessary structural reform to the side. Additionally, to finance HIV-dedicated does not supply none stimulates for systems sustainable of the country, it obtains the poor value for the given money, and increases the dependence of the country in dae (automatic device of entrance).

It puts this ahead only 10% of the ten billion dollar of And U. per the year that is dedicated to the HIV is really needed for the two million peoples who receive the treatment for free presently. Putting the remain of the financa HIV that to the general health budgets, a forward enormous stage could be made in systems of the health of the country becoming, allowing that they give priority and they improve to the prevention and the treatment of an entire scale of the illnesses.

Finally, it says, an agency of the dedicated UN to an only illness is a responsibility, thus that UNAIDS needs to be closed for low. It says this “not because it executed given its mandate badly… but because its mandate was wrong and harmful. Its functions techniques must be re-equipped in the WHO, to be balanced with the those of other illnesses.”
