AB The AIDS epidemic first started in Malaysia in Malaysia in 1986, and
since then, thousands of HIV positives have been detected. As a result,
numerous Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) have emerged in the
country to address the various aspects of the epidemic. The Ministry of
Health realised the importance of bringing these NGOs together under one
umbrella body in order to complement its efforts towards curbing theAIDS
problem here. Such approach is needed as the Government strongly feels
that these NGOs could contribute a lot in enhancing the surveillance
activities and education strategies being carried out by the Ministry of
Health. With these in mind, The Malaysian Council of NGOs on AIDS was
born with the initiative of the key officers within the Ministry. With
the formation of the Council, organisational and bereaucratic barriers
have begun to crumble, thus leading to dynamic partnerships across
operational sectors, thereby leading to enhancing efforts in all areas
of prevention and control towards the AIDS problem in Malaysia.
