National AIDS Council Secretariat

Our Mission:

“We exist to end the HIV epidemic in Papua New Guinea”

The National AIDS Council Secretariat subscribes to this mission statement as it is the organizations reason for existence.

Our Vision:

“We will reduce the prevalence of HIV & STI’s to less than 0.5% and eliminate HIV transmission in “mother-to-child” by 2030”
