Beijing NGOs Join Hands to Fights AIDS
A group of 27 non-governmental organizations reached an agreement November 24 to unite to prevent and control the spread of AIDS.
They have decided to cooperatively hold a large-scale consulting and publicity event on December 1 to mark "World AIDS Day".
Experts attending today's meeting said that because of the geographic mobility, concealment and complexity of the spread of AIDS, the government's efforts are not enough and the participation of nongovernmental organizations is urgently needed.
The NGO's that will join the efforts include the Beijing Red Cross, Beijing Venereal Disease and AIDS Prevention and Control Association, Beijing Trade Union, Beijing Youth League and many others.
