Philippine National AIDS Council (PNAC) HISTORY

History
The Philippine National AIDS Council (PNAC) was created in 1992 by Executive order No. 39 as an advisory body to the office of the President on all matters related to AIDS. It was reconstituted by virtue of Republic ACt 8504 as the central advisory, planning and policy making body on the prevention and control of HIV and AIDS in the country. Made up of 26 members from the government, civil society and organizations of people living with HIV, the Council envision a fully empowered national coordinating body where different individuals and sectors work in partnership to prevent the transmission of the virus and lessen its impact on the affected persons in particular and society in general.

The PNAC is made up of 26 members from the government, civil society and organization of people living with HIV. As an advisory body, although recommendations were made to the President, these were not necessarily acted upon. PNAC, however, served as a venue for intensive policy discussion between government and NGOs. This ensured that policies to be formulated and actions to be taken truly respond to HIV and AIDS as a social development issue requiring multi-sectoral attention.

Mission
PNAC shall lead in developing and sustaining an enabling enviroment where individuals and sectors can appropriately, effectively and expeditously respond to the many challenges of HIV/AIDS.PNAC shall foster commitment, coordination, cooperation and collaboration.

Vision
A fully empowered nation where different individuals and sectors work in partnership to prevent HIV transmission and to lessen its impact on affected persons in particular, nad society in general.

International AIDS Conference

The International AIDS Conference is the premier gathering for those working in the field of HIV, as well as policy makers, persons living with HIV and other individuals committed to ending the pandemic. It is a chance to assess where we are, evaluate recent scientific developments and lessons learnt, and collectively chart a course forward.

The AIDS 2012 programme will present new scientific knowledge and offer many opportunities for structured dialogue on the major issues facing the global response to HIV. A variety of session types – from abstract-driven presentations to symposia, bridging and plenary sessions – will meet the needs of various participants. Other related activities, including the Global Village, satellite meetings, exhibitions and affiliated independent events, will contribute to an exceptional opportunity for professional development and networking.
