HAITI: Children start getting specialised AIDS services

Summary: In a country affected by years of political instability, violence and endemic poverty, Aide Médicale Internationale (AMI), a French non-governmental organisation, has counted over 2,120 street children in Port-au-Prince, some as young as 10. A socio-medical programme launched by AMI in 2004 uses mobile clinics to bring healthcare and psychological support to them. Owner: PlusNewspdf: http://www.plusnews.org/Report.aspx?ReportId=75066
