Current advances in the Artificial Intelligence domain are in successful propagation within an area of technology. These include the processes such as computer vision methods, speech recognition process, language processing and so on. World Congress on Chemistry and Drug Discovery 2019, Toronto purposes a view of the induced A.I process on the drug industry.

Artificial Intelligence and Pharmaceutical Drugs.
A. I have been constantly upgrading itself into areas of biology, chemistry, further improving the success rates and lowering the cost of drug delivery and developments.

At the laboratories of Jianfeng Pei, current drug discovery in the field of Artificial Intelligence has been put forward with topics of “AI for drug discovery and development”. This research topic properly highlights the recent advances of further advancements in the AI for the drug and developments. Currently, pharmaceutical domains have improved the process with a variety of pharmaceutical Research and development techniques.

The integrity of Artificial Intelligence is perceiving into life sciences which is further resulting in a wave full of academic publications. A number of startups have thus seen developing a wide variety of strategies, including pursuing the business models in developing pharmaceutical researches. Currently, the pharmaceutical industry has also been strengthening in the capabilities with centralizing amends of data sources which are segregated. This further gets onto hiring data scientists with investing in a large set of infrastructures.

This has curated A. I in the pharmaceutical industry and put forward a distinct vision of early-stage discoveries in innovative medicines, research, and development. These processes are expected to enable a lot of industry domain inventions of early-stage discovery and innovative medicines. This will further reach out to people globally.

Currently, China has been expected to become a major influencer in the pharmaceutical industry. Trade wars are evident in the current situations and they can have an impact on the field. Diseases like Cancer, Alzheimer’s aren’t affected by nation wise concerns. Unless there has been a clear set in the curing effects, the trade war of biotechnology domain is prevalent to that of war. Ordinarily, the advancement in the bio medicines requires major collaborations internationally, with varied diversity and initiatives.

World Congress on Chemistry and Drug Discovery-2019
The World Congress on Chemistry and Drug Discovery to be held on Toronto, Canada focuses an array of scientist, professors, chemistry subject experts, drug chemists, pharmaceutical engineers, research fellows, pharmaceutical engineers, research fellows, scientific communities, and so on. The event will portray a variety of ideas on the designated field dealing of A.I in the field of drugs. Additionally, the discussions include the ongoing research expertise in various fields of chemistry, drug designing, drug synthesis and engender.

Pediatric cell atlas, rescuing children health issues

by JSBConference -

In a recent stage, several biomedical researchers are on the verge of creating Pediatric Cell Atlas, which has been termed as a powerful resource in getting finely grained study in human growth and developments. 3RD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PEDIATRICS AND NEONATOLOGY gives data on the recent advancements of pediatric cell atlas.

Currently, while drawing events on improvements in technology, the Atlas plans to offer on the unprecedented window which has unique data on the biology of children which benchmarks on healthy and abnormal tissues. These are considered as the basic units of biology and the level in single cell structures.

In the recent phase, pediatricians are quite familiar in the information of children not being a small adult. The director of Bioinformatics in the Department of Biomedical and Health Informatics at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia feels a similar aspect in the approach of child care facilities. Further, he states that childhood diseases, symptoms and therapies to these symptoms are mostly aged dependent. The physiology of these diseases and a perfect presentation to drug responses is therefore needed to be done in the adults. With Atlas, there has been a reference tool which is showing up about cells further helping a child is growing healthily.

On a global perspective, parents are most familiar in the proportion of growth charts, which on other than a pediatrician logs for a child’s height and weight to the national average measurements.

In recent time, PCA is continuing to compile further some age matched up the path of tissue and organ process in most healthy children. In recent time these are further referenced certain key data patterns and cell differentiation and signaling of cells.

As a result, the trajectories are offering a standard definition to researchers in understanding better on childhood illness and diseases. Further, while accounting for these influences, the effect on environmental factors also serves as a case study.

On the overall, the support for the pediatric research purely lags the support in for an adult health research program. There is also strong evidence of lagging in the breakthrough of biomedical discoveries which are translating the clinical treatments for children on an overall.

3RD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PEDIATRICS AND NEONATOLOGY

Pediatrics Conference 2023 is an upcoming Conference on pediatrics, to be held in Italy. It serves as an excellent platform in focusing the Advanced concepts of Frameworks in Children health and Adolescent treatments.

The pediatric meeting will further include workshops, symposiums, and special keynote sessions. These speakers greatly excel in a field of neonatology and pediatrics further. Amid all these the global event put forwards the participation of young students and researchers for building the domain. Additionally, the hosting of the Poster Award Competition will be held along the Young Research forum at the conference venue.

It is an important opportunity in the field of Marketing, sponsorship and Networking advancements.

Mayo Clinic offers a unique practice for treating COPD

by JSBConference -

Every year Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease affects a lot of people on a worldwide scale. The disorder is primarily caused due to smoking and further results in fatality if not treated. On a wide scale, pulmonary Disease Conferences and COPD Conference acts by giving a threshold on how to tackle the disorder in a primitive way.

A new procedure has been on the books for treating COPD. The technology which is available at the U.S.A Pulmonologist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester is one of the very first in the country for performing on a patient.
Emphysema hasn’t has been treated as per now for which the only alternative would be to implement invasive surgeries. The surgeries will further remove part of the abnormal lung. Citing this as a major breakthrough at the Mayo Clinic, doctors are mostly inducing invasive procedures which are known as ‘Endoscopic Volume Reduction’.”

The patient who has been treated was 18 years old when he started to smoke. Back in 2003, the patient was diagnosed with Emphysema. The usual process of breathing was largely hampered.

By the time Peterson(patient) was put into the treatment of Endoscopic Volume Reduction, FDA had approved the same as per guidelines. Just after two weeks of the successful treatment, he became one of the first in the country to adopt the procedure. As per his operation, he was using around 7 liters of Oxygen, which also suggested that it isn’t a quick recovery.

So far as the patients are concerned they are the verge of getting rid of the air. The technique can, therefore, put a little on the valve which further lets air out of the lung and doesn’t let it back inside. Thus, by reducing the volume of air, the diaphragm is made to come up and work in an efficient manner.
As per the doctors at the clinic, there has been no permanent evidence as if the procedure can extend the life expectancy. Focusing on the quality of life is the main aim here. Further, there are around 6 Mayo Clinic Paleontologists, one in Florida and two in Arizona who perform the procedures.

Currently, Endoscopic Volume Reduction is made accessible in Europe with few other countries with more than 15k patients being treated worldwide.

2nd World Congress on COPD, Asthma and Lung Health
The World Congress on COPD is about to take place in Madrid, Spain. It will revolve on the theme of “Exploring the Research Advancements and Prevention of Pulmonary Disease” with discussing the cutting edge findings of Pulmonary and Respiratory medicines. Further, the event will enlighten various people on the workshops conducted by established experts of the field with keynote sessions put forward enhancing the business.

Robots help in recycling!

by JSBConference -

Each passing year there are a number of thrash companies who have estimated the garbage being accounted to around 68 million tons for recycling. This is similar to the weight which is of more than 30 million cars.

The key step in the process is happening on the fast-moving belts of conveyor, for which the workers have sorted several items like paper, plastic, and glasses. This kind of jobs has been reported as unsafe, dirty and dull. Mostly, in the facilities where workers do remove normal thrash in from the mix. International conference on green energy provides a basic criterion as to how the process of going clean can largely help the environment to thrive.

A team of researchers who are representing at MIT, have been mostly developing robotic systems which can detect the object is paper, metal or even plastic. The department has been mostly on the Computer science and Artificial intelligence Laboratory.

It has developed the “RoCycle” system which includes the soft Teflon and uses the tactile sensors on the fingerprints. This further detects the object’s size and stiffness. These are compatible with any kind of robotic arms, as RoCycle has been found to be able to have 85 percent of accuracy in detection of materials when it was stationary. The plus point is 63 percent of accurate has been on an actual stimulation of conveyer belt.

A further collaboration with Yale University, the RoCycle has been directly demonstrating the limits of many slights based sort processes. Further, there is a reliably distinguished effort on the visual of Starbuck cups. One of them is made on the paper while another is made up of plastic, which can give a vision of system troubles.

The recycling process

On wider growth, the project has been a part of large goals which can subsequently reduce the back end cost of recycling. Further, in order to go on in creating varieties, countries can create their own programs within themselves.

Currently, recycling centers haven’t been automated perfectly, with machinery being included in optical sorters. These sorters use a different wavelength light in distinguishing plastics, magnet sorters and separate iron with steel products. Further many aluminum sorters use an eddy current to remove the non-magnetic metals in it.

International Conference on Green Energy and Recycling

The international conference on Green energy and Recycling is a platform to be held at Berlin, Germany which supports the Green Energy domain and brightens the environment status through recycling. The platform focuses on varied experiences and opportunities which can enhance career growth. It is aimed at the major fields of recycling and Green energy scheduled to be held on 2nd of December 2019.

The international conference on Green energy and Recycling is a platform supporting the Green Energy domain and brighten the environment status through recycling.

Holy Grail therapy paths a new hope for cardiovascular issues

by JSBConference -

Holy Grail therapy has been on a recent series of introduction, as scientists have started to integrate the process in tackling heart attack. It is dominantly done by injecting a gene which can restart certain growth when humans are babies.

The Holy Grail heart failure sees a new domain on scientists working to regenerate many cells of human muscle. When the gene is injected during infancy, it has shown to restore tissues. Although the study has been largely done on pigs.

The people who have had heart attacks in the past have been left with patches of scaring lasting forever. This can lead to heart failure and untimely death.For these scientists have been failed to find and restore the dead tissues, which makes the organs work normally.This discovery has the aspect of changing the condition and further restore some tissues.

While restarting the growth process, it usually ends when people are in the infant stage. Many experts can be able to forgive the heart in building again and further gain full benefits of being healthy.

The process started with scientists being able to test on the hearts of the pigs, in injecting particular genes. These are known as miR-199a, which can restart the growth of specialist heart cells, after typically stopping in the infancy period.King’s College London’s researchers have been involved in injection the genes to the hearts of pigs. They observed that the heart function had been back to normal within thirty days of a heart attack.

With the similarities between pig and human heart, the scientists hope in the treatment being beneficial for people who have heart issues, within a decade of research.There had been many unsuccessful attempts before coming at a conclusion.Initially, it was regenerating the heart with stem cells, which did fail in the first attempt. There was the first account of successful cardiac repair in the case of a large animal in this domain.

The treatment hopes to bring a ray of light to the population who are suffering from heart failure. The condition of heart failure often conditions deadly affecting more than 20 million people on a worldwide scale.Around one lakh people have been affected in the UK for the condition, following a heart attack. This happens when the organ has been damaged in pumping blood properly.

The recent study undergone did manage to inject the Human MicroRNA-199a to the hearts of pigs, just after a heart attack.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CARDIOLOGY AND CARDIOVASCULAR RESEARCH

 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CARDIOLOGY AND CARDIOVASCULAR RESEARCH focuses on cardiology issue with methodologies for ailment remediation in the heart and cardiac diseases. The conference is one of the prominent Cardiology conferences in 2023. The conference deals and expects to explore the science behind heart issues and diseases. These conferences give an impact of expectations of treatment into cardiovascular contamination.

Tackling mental issues in growing children

by JSBConference -

In the era of accidents and illness, access to good health care services can serve as a major influencer in the life and death of children. Most children who are deprived of help and suffer from mental issues need to attain medical help more often.

The rates of youth suicides have been rising in recent years, and Psychiatry Conferences put forward the issue facing among 80 percent of mentally affected children. One in three children who have a mental health condition has a higher prevalence rate than usual.

The major cause of the disability in the young population has been mostly neuropsychiatric disorders. These are considered a condition which is mainly caused by diseases affecting the nervous system. Many diseases such as ADHD, eating disorders, depression as well as autism are trending in the Neuropsychiatric conditions. If left untreated, these diseases can be detrimental in the well being of a child.

A lot of Middle Tennessee children, right from birth to age of 5 are in receiving an early diagnosis with treatment for a variety of mental conditions. This has been largely based on the federal gran who has given funding from the U.S Department of Health and Human services recently.

Additionally, with respect to educational and employment services, a lot of untreated mental health issues does put a probability that the person can be involved in a so-called juvenile justice system, This can lead to a higher risk of going ahead in the criminal justice system in the adulthood. Many studies even show much greater access in the mental health services which can decrease the rate of incarceration in an overall manner.

Almost half of the major mental health conditions have been known to be affected by an early age of 14. Further, these early intervention programs can be effective in providing adequate support for the young population. In the future, these can be well-established for a better atmosphere in the school, employment, and quality of life.

Nearly a majority of health conditions do begin by the age of 14. Due to this, an early intervention program can have a tremendous effect on the young generation. This further leads to better days in school, with stable employment status and quality of life altogether.

With the need for mental health services rising on the global standard, parents are best friends to advocate the help to their children. A lot of parents along with caregivers are empowered on to take an active role with further being on the influential side. This largely makes the child come face to face in healthcare aspects. Further, families should be thoroughly encouraged to speak boldly and say about barriers. This can give access to care and ask for what children need support when it comes to their well-being.

World Congress on Mental Health

The Neuroscience conference London 2019 presents an platform in presenting the scientific improvements of the field. The conference is one of a kind Psychiatry Conferences, which aims at making motivational keynotes in through leaders and pioneers across the globe.

It will host a variety of researchers, students as well as business professionals.

Fellow researchers from the field of psychiatry are there to participate and share their knowledge into the domain, which can give a grasp on cutting edge findings to the field of psychiatry and mental health.

The Riddle Behind Brain Death Myth

by JSBConference -

Lately, a popular Brazilian Neurologist has been on the foreground to break barriers on the brain death myth. It has been purposed that the same is preserved for a supply of an international multi-billion dollar transplant industry. International conference on neurology aims to cover neurological disorders which upcoming neurology conference being held in Tokyo, Japan.

Cicero G. Coimbra who holds a Ph.D. of Medicines has been a neurologist and professor of neuroscience at the Federal University of Sau Paulo in Brazil. He has said that the recovery of comatose patients gases been often possible, with a tightly controlled medical establishment. This is further not giving doctors and medical students the facts which need to gather for the best of the patients.

As per Coimbra, the term brain death has been coined in the 1960s which was just after the first successful human heart transplant. This did trigger a demand in the transplantable vital organs which has to be harvested from patients. Further, these patients were considered as hopelessly comatose, within the medical knowledge purposed at that time.

Until then, no preliminary scientific research did exist on the brain death concept before the name came into existence. Still, calling the patients dead did make a lot of medical community to overcome, the legal hurdles which were associated in the removing of vital organs from the comatose patients.

In the late 1980s, with organ transplants being performed around the globe, several medical researchers were experimenting on animals for discovering the mechanism of blood flow to the brain. Consequently, it has been observed as the blood flow is reduced from the normal range to just about 20 to 50 percent, as termed as the brain is silent. Nevertheless, it was never dead or damaged. Within the end of the 1990s, the phenomenon is called the “ischemic penumbra” had been further demonstrated in humans, with a closed lid on the brain death myth.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NEUROSCIENCE AND NEUROLOGY

The International Conference of Neurology to be held at Melbourne, Australia determines the various studies of Neuroscience among a wide group of the audience including researchers. The major theme of the event is to make a collaborative strategy to fight neurological disorders, covering widely recognized topics of discussion. Further, Neurology 2023 aims at focusing on the latest research and tools that are required to treat diseases in a better way. This conference is one of the prominent ways to further make learning about the recent research and aspects being held on Neurology research and development.

Neuroscience and AI: integrating the unexplored areas

by JSBConference -

Though we see today that artificial intelligence and machine learning are getting spread over every sector, its development in the neurology is not yet explored to the extent it should have been. Neuroscience and artificial intelligence are considered two different things as one belongs to the technology while the other biology. 

Recent international conferences on neuroscience have discussed nemourous brain functions, thought little on AI. This blog traverses through how both terms can be incorporated and explored for obtaining advanced results from both sectors. 

Research in the past decade has observed physical connection in the brain to a tremendous extent. We have also seen how the nervous systems perceive information and process it. That being said, the brain is such a crucial and delicate factor in the body which has many undiscovered factors. That tells how there’s a lot more which is not explored yet. 

While we have been exploring how the brain functions and learns everything, on the other hand, tech experts have gained a gamut of things through constant development in the area of computer algorithms hardware and software applications. In today’s world of machine learning and artificial intelligence, some researchers believe that exploring the neurological areas and how the brain functions can help tech enthusiasts and researchers in many ways. It can primarily help translate the concepts of thinking from neurology and then incorporate them into things such as AI and machine learning. 

Brain and machines are indifferent: 

Artificial intelligence or even machine learning for that matter is a part of technological innovations which are systems. They are undoubtedly an improvised version of the human brain which can accurately find enormous data sets. These data sets are complex and often have subtle patterns. 

Through the latest healthcare industry market research, you would find such innovations almost in every sector today. Be it automated vehicles, face identifying systems, finance threat detection or robots, the systems have been a huge help to mankind. Its contribution to the medical diagnoses and healthcare industry cannot be ignored. However, they are simply modifications of a single computer algorithm. 

Another term popular in machine learning is artificial neural networks. This is a common approach which interconnects with digital processors accepting process measurements, inputs and produce outputs, etc. As per the researchers, to gain enhanced outputs, one should understand how various inputs give different outputs and analyze the same. With this, you will be able to respond better the patterns which are alike. 

For instance, if you wish that your system show the text of what is being shown to the system, you must show a lot of pictures of the object to help the system better recognize it. For instance, a dog. You have to show different dog images with more information about the various dog breeds. When you do this, your system can have internal connections and the next time you show a dog, it can show the text dog on it. The more information you put, the more objects it will be able to identify and display text for the same. 

This may be how a machine learning system understands various objects, however, the brain functions differently than the systems. You may not have to show every type of dog with different angles and yet the brain can identify a dog. With human brains, they take a very little amount of information, store it to the memory very quickly identify various subjects and objects even though seeing from different angles.

Needless to say that both the brain and the machine learning systems work differently owing to their different nature. While one ace at one thing, the other may poorly fail at the same and vice versa. 

For instance, a machine learning system may not able to process information when there’s noise in the communication, however, the brain can!  On the other hand, for a human brain, it can be difficult to process a large amount of complex data but that’s exactly what machine learning systems are made for. 

When you a dog’s photo which may be black and white or slightly torn, you can still identify the picture that it’s a dog. However, because of your brain know that the picture is similar to a dog, you would decide that it’s a dog. Unlike in the case of a machine learning system which would simply fail to give any output for the inadequately processed information. 

It is crucial to understand the brain’s potential to recover from physical problems, reconnecting with different things surrounding them. A stroke or an injury can make it difficult for a brain to adapt to go back to the stored information. The brain still aces at impressively processing a particular type of information despite being injured. As you may have seen that the brain does not struggle to understand a language while it may struggle to recognize particular subjects or objects which were stored at a particular time. 

In the case of machine learning systems, it may not at all function or process information if half of its connections are being removed or ‘injured’.

Integrating machine learning and neuroscience: 

Though there’s continous research being conducted in the neuroscience on how a brain functions or processes different information, it is still unclear how a particular brain processing method would do good in the machine learning system. For this, researchers may have to try each possibility of how the brain processing methods into the various machine learning methods. 

On the other hand, one may also explore improving machine learning for identifying new areas of neuroscience. Artificial intelligence may open new doors of questions and new challenges in the study of neuroscience. 

Researchers are how individual neurons contribute to their overall network. It is also exploring the connectivity of neurons on a broader network to understand the impact of the interactions between two neurons. 

With a similar line of action and viewpoints, if research in the areas of neuroscience and artificial intelligence is explored further, it may do wonders bringing you the technology of the future. At the same time, it may contribute to achieving new and advanced ways of fighting with neurological disorders or adverse brain conditions. 

As the World International Conference Neuroscience and Neurology is coming up next year on 25-26 May 2023, it will be interesting to see if brain such studies can have scope for further discussion among eminent. Going through the list of all-conference alerts 2023, 26th Cognitive Neuroscience Congress is another conference that one should not miss the opportunity to speak about AI in the cognitive neurology discussions. 

Omnichannel: the future of retail?

by JSBConference -

Only when the retailers thought the industry would collapse, D-mart’s entry in India grew faster despite the e-commerce wave. However, the expectations of a retail customer have changed drastically in the past few years. Though the retail industry has evolved in the past decade, it is still trying best to match the expectations level. 

The role of retailers has changed ever since e-commerce has disrupted the retail industry with its constant technological advancements. The retail sector has had it tough due to the digital disruption and the growing admiration of customers to diverse digital platforms. 

India is emerging as the next big thing in the international retail market after economies such as China and the US. The big market players in the industry are fighting to win over the retail competitive landscape. 

As per recent market research reports, the Indian retail market is likely to cross $ 1 trillion marks. What more interesting is that the Indian e-commerce market has 51% CAGR -the highest in the world. 

Digital platforms are seeing immense growth in the retailing industry with almost every retailing model entering the digital world. In India, there remains a huge number of people who penetrate the internet on a daily basis for the last few years. With the increased use of smartphones, and secure mobile payment solutions, digital portals have got strengthened in the retail markets. 

The internet helps retailers understand their customers better in numerous ways. Each time a customer purchases goods online, it gives crucial information to the marketer that help improve the user experience and retain loyalty. 

Despite the digital incorporation is increasing in the retail industry, a major number of consumers still prefers to touch and feel the product while buying goods. Many customers do not pay until they are fully satisfied with the demo. 

To attract such customers, digital marketers came up with an easy return or exchange policy which has become popular for the retail industry. Having said that, off-line customer experience remains hassle-free to gain traction from such consumers. 

Besides, the online platforms face problems of cut-throat competition with more market entrants occupying market share.  

Why omnichannel is doing great for the retail industry?

The digital presence helps retails to know their customers better. 

  • It helps them connect personally and provide sublime experience in their visit. 
  • It works as a backup where the physical shops cannot reach out to customers in certain cases. 
  • With digital marketing, retailers can have a bigger reach for their physical shops and centers. 

On the other hand, even the online producers and marketers are trying their hands offline to get the little slice of offline retails industry. 

Amazon, one of the biggest market giants in India has captured a big part of the country in a short period.  The company also had acquisitions in whole goods in 2017. It extended its online capabilities with increased online branding on Amazon Prime and other platforms. 

As per retail industry analysis, the personalizing the experiences of customers are given the most importance in the retail markets. With omnipresent retail models, it is possible to gain an overall understanding of the customer’s expectations. By meeting the dynamic needs of the customers, omnipresent business models can have a long way to go in the retail industry. 

New UNAIDS chief all set to end Global battle against HIV/AIDS

by JSBConference -

Our struggle with HIV/AIDS has been long and fierce. Even as we speak of this, thousands of doctors, scientists and academicians worldwide, are hard at work, eagerly waiting to make the smallest of progress. 

Every tiny step against this destructive disease is a ray of hope for the millions who are affected by it and the millions more who have a loved one strongly gripped by the disease.

So what is it that makes this disease so deadly? 

HIV is a virus that lives in human fluids.This includes blood, sexual fluids, and breastmilk. It weakens the body’s immune system, which makes it difficult for our body to fight off common infections and invasions.It has a notorious history of spreading through sexual intercourse, use of unhygienic needles and wrongly performed blood transfusions. Since it was first detected in human blood, HIV/AIDS has a bad reputation of being a killer. 

Initially it was detected in congo, Africa but soon in a few decades it became a pandemic when travellers came back to their own countries after spending time in congo, they brought the virus with them and so it spread. Soon millions were affected worldwide.  

Since the first case was reported in the 1980’s, almost 40 years of intense research and global efforts have followed. After the last chief of UNAIDS Michel Sidibé stepped down from the chair owing to accusations of mismanagement,  Director of Women and Development at the African Union Commission, Winnie Byanyima has been appointed as the new chief of the organization.

The new chief is hopeful that by the year 2030 AIDS will have ended as a global pandemic, although she understands that it would not be easy to achieve this goal. In a statement while expressing her gratitude she said “I am honoured to be joining UNAIDS as the Executive Director at such a critical time in the response to HIV. 

The end of AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 is a goal that is within the world’s reach, but I do not underestimate the scale of the challenge ahead. Working with all its partners, UNAIDS must continue to speak up for the people left behind and champion human rights as the only way to end the epidemic.

Ms Byanyima was appointed by Secretary-General, António Guterres, following a thorough selection procedure aided by a search committee constituted by members of the UNAIDS Programme Coordinating Board.

Ms Byanyima started her career as a member of Parliament of the National Assembly of Uganda almost 30 years ago. She stood for the marginalized communities and women.

In its latest report issued on 13th August 2019, UNAIDS declared that there has been a 16% decline in HIV cases. 

The report claims that Africa has made giant advances in the response to AIDS since 2010, the number of death cases have fallen by 40%. AIDS related deaths have continued to decline as treatment is reaching more and more of the population.

According to sources “In 2018, key populations, including people who inject drugs, gay men and other men who have sex with men, transgender people, sex workers and prisoner.accounted for around 95 per cent of new HIV infections in eastern Europe and central Asia and in the Middle East and North Africa.”

In the 2018 international conference on HIV/AIDS, former UNAIDS executive director Michel Sidibé urges all to consider the 2020 targets as a wakeup call and “quicken their pace” as there are “still miles to go”.

To find out more about the efforts in response to HIV/AIDS stay updated with the latest World Conference Alerts and be sure to attend the upcoming conference in Italy.
