Hanoi (VNA) – Legislators will debate online the draft law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control in the morning of October 23, the fourth day of the legislature’s 10th sitting.

The amendment and supplement aim to institutionalise viewpoints and guidelines stated in the Party Central Committee’s Resolution No. 20-NQ/TW dated October 25, 2017, regarding the enhancement of the protection and improvement of the public’s health in the new situation.  

Under the resolution, Vietnam strives to basically put an end to the disease by 2030, and increase domestic resources for the fight.

The lawmakers will focus their discussions on how to enhance the access to information on HIV carriers, testing cost to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission and treatment funding, among others.

In the afternoon, the NA deputies will mull over the draft revised law on Vietnamese guest workers under contracts, which was scrutinised at the ninth sitting of the legislature and the 46th session of the NA Standing Committee. /.
