Impoverished AIDS patients in east China's Anhui Province will
be housed in government-funded residences, according to local
government sources.
The province has vowed to step up efforts to prevent the spread
of HIV/AIDS and to offer more care to the victims. It has pledged
to arrange housing for needy AIDS patients and to provide drinking
water facilities for HIV/AIDS families.
In addition, the provincial government has promised to build at
least one road in key HIV/AIDS-stricken villages and to ensure
adequate medical care and living subsidies for HIV/AIDS infected
people.
