Fiji declares HIV emergency as children die in crisis
Original: ‘Children are dying’: Fiji hopes declaring an HIV emergency will help it tackle crisis
Fiji has declared an HIV emergency in an effort to confront a growing crisis in the country, where children are among those dying from the virus. The government hopes the formal declaration will unlock resources and urgent action to curb transmission and expand testing and treatment. Health advocates say the move reflects alarm at the scale of the outbreak and the failure of earlier measures to contain it.
Why now: Fiji's declaration of an HIV emergency is a significant and unusual public health response drawing international attention.
