UNDP - Pakistan - Goal 6: Combat HIV & AIDS, Malaria and other diseases

There are five indicators of goal 6. First indicator is the reduction in HIV prevalence among 15-24 year old pregnant women by one half. Since the incidence has been low and there are various programs to combat HIV the target is expected to be achieved. Second, HIV amongst the vulnerable groups is also to be met due to various programs that have been launched by the government and civil society. Third, proportion suffering from malaria under high risk getting treatment to rise from 20 percent in 2001-02 to 75 percent. The proportion increased to 30 percent in 2008-09 and MTDF target is 50 percent and that can only be met through more concerted efforts. Fourth, incidence of tuberculosis to decline form 177 in 2000-01 to 45 per 100,000 in 2015. Since the incidence is still 180 in 2008-9 the target seems to be far distant away. Fifth, proportion of TB cases detected and managed through DOTS strategy to rise form 79 percent in 2000-01 to 85 percent by 2015 and at present during 2008-09 it is 80 percent.
