Prevention/Epidemiology Thailand Sends 50,000 Condoms to AfricaJanuary 20, 2006 On Friday, Thailand's Foreign and Health ministries donated 50,000 condoms as part of its "forward engagement" policy with Africa's fight against HIV/AIDS, the UN Development Program announced. UNDP will ship the condoms to Burkina Faso, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Nigeria and Uganda. In Thailand, about 550,000 Thais are infected, and AIDS is the leading cause of death. "This shipment is an expression of Thailand's interest in working with Africa to halt this killer in its tracks," said Joana Merlin-Scholtes, UN resident coordinator and UNDP representative for Thailand.
