July 20, 2012, St John’s Antigua – The nation’s former Clinical Care Coordinator believes it’s a good thing that middle and low income countries are spending more of their own resources to fight HIV/AIDS.
Sir Prince Ramsey was responding to reports that developing countries, like Antigua and Barbuda, together are outspending the international donor community on HIV/AIDS programs.
He believes, with proper education, funding programs should not be cost prohibitive for such a small population as that of Antigua and Barbuda.

Sir Prince also comments on a recent push by UNAIDS to halt new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths by 2015.
He says the target is ambitious and unlikely to be achieved but still worth aiming for.
