In a debate on the Draft International Health Framework today, Cllr Janet Finch-Saunders AM said:

“Arguments for the sharing of clinical and operational best practice in international fora would be much stronger if the health outcomes of the Welsh NHS were better.

“Our Wales4Africa Health Links scheme is working to address Millennium Development Goal 6 to combat HIVS/AIDS, Malaria and Other Diseases, yet Tyddyn Bach in my constituency – the only HIV respite centre in Wales – has had to put their respite provision on hold due to a lack of Welsh Government funding.

“We must seek to work with governments, with the voluntary sector and with the private sector worldwide to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.”
