AB Plenty has been written and said about the importance of effective AIDS
program management. Likewise, the Global Program on AIDS has developed
an excellent twelve-manual management course, which will be conducted in
different regions of the globe. This course aims at national commitment
and agreement on AIDS prevention and control efforts. The Surinamese
National AIDS Program will present its unconventional formula for the
management of its Government's National AIDS Program during this Xth
International Conference on AIDS. Its central management coordinates HIV
testing with pre- and post test counseling; offers social support on
site; oversees epidemiological surveillance of HIV/AIDS and STD; has its
own unit for information, education and communication; houses the
National Reference Laboratory for HIV screening and confirmation;
operates an 'AIDS Hotline'; coordinates HIV/AIDS research; acts as
N.G.O. liaison for foundations with HIV and AIDS related
responsibilities; and accommodates a multi sectoral AIDS Committee with
broad public, private and public health representation, including a
classification sub-committee. Based on guidelines from the Ministry of
Health and W.H.O., the N.A.P. has, over the past six years, acted as an
important catalyst for the emergence of nationwide community efforts to
curb a further spread of HIV, and to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS in
this interesting South American nation. Unlike many developing
countries, the Suriname National AIDS Program receives exceptional
support for its efforts of HIV prevention and impact reduction, from the
different religious denominations in the country. Its successful
programs include a Female Commercial Sex Workers Project, an Adolescent
Peer Education Program and a Prison Project. It has accomplished the
incorporation of HIV/STD education in the school curricula, and has
incited the integration of STD services in Suriname's primary health
care.
