Thus in 2011, UNDP and its partners have helped cure 60% of TB patients whose number rose to 33,000 in 2011. More than 5,200 cases were detected this year. These activities were part of the National Programme against Tuberculosis, which aims to reduce transmission,morbidity andmortality of tuberculosis in Haiti.

In parallel, the programme supported by UNDP has helped provide treatment to 33,274 HIV-positive patients and performed more than 140,500 HIV/AIDS tests and counselling sessions. In terms of prevention, nearly 10 million condoms were distributed.

Awareness
5,235 young people aged 10 to 24 years old were educated on HIV/AIDS and 2,711 sex workers attended information and prevention sessions. These activities were developed as part of the national campaign against AIDS, improving the rate of access to treatment and prevention methods.
