Sant'Arpino - Manifestazione Unicef (19.11.09)

The global economic crisis has raised tough choices about spending for countries around the world. At times like these, its often women and children who fare the worst. The crisis comes at a time when theres been great progress in the fight against AIDS. More women are receiving treatment to prevent HIV transmission to their babies, and new infections among children are down. For the first time, the goal of ending paediatric HIV seems possible. But to stay on track toward an AIDS-free generation, its essential to protect funding for the fight against the epidemic. This short video leads us through some of the issues involved, as well as the potential consequences of cutting back on funding when so much has already been achieved.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, 20 July 2009 Estela Benitez recently gave birth to her first child, a healthy girl named Abril Delfina. VIDEO: Watch now She lives in the Boedo neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, where she is benefitting from a new model of neo- and post-natal care at the Hospital Ram n Sarda. The hospitals programme places more attention on the needs of the family than other maternal health facilities traditionally have done. UNICEF is working to replicate this successful programme on a massive scale. "This model includes practices that have been shown to be effective in preventing neo-natal mortality," said UNICEF Health Specialist Zulma Ortiz. "And all of them are based specifically in the relationship between the mother and the son or the daughter and also the whole family so the idea is to promote the implementation of this strategy all over the world."
