Panafrican News Agency - December 19, 2001
Under a Culture, Solidarity and AIDS project, "Synchro-SIDA" will be a broadcasting day of information and sensitisation in national and French languages on the different aspects of the pandemic.
The operation, which is in its fourth consecutive year, will target four million listeners of about 40 community radio stations synchronised with the national radio.
During the day, health workers will lead debates on the pandemic in Mali where 130,000 HIV-positive people are reported with a prevalence rate of 3.5 percent.
Mali, which decided to sensitise people in view of the growing wave of HIV infections in the country, decreed December as "the month to fight against AIDS."
