My heartfelt appreciation goes to the leadership of Aweil South health professional Association for granting me the opportunity to represent the association at the 7th Network of AIDS Health Services South Sudan, held in Juba, the capital.

Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Network of AIDS Service and Health Organizations of South Sudan (NASOSS) took place in November 2025 between 25th-27th.

This network encompasses civil society organizations dedicated to HIV/AIDS response and health services in South Sudan, aiming to enhance coordination, awareness, and effective intervention strategies against HIV/AIDS in the country.

The Board of Directors convened to review progress, strategize, and reinforce partnerships which align with ongoing national efforts, such as the World AIDS Day 2025 commemoration, reinforced by the South Sudan Ministry of Health, emphasizing the country's commitment to ending HIV/AIDS.

As part of their mission, NASOSS emphasizes empowerment, coordinated responses, and resource mobilization to support community health.

The AGM is part of a broader strategy to sustain and expand HIV interventions, supported by international donors like the Global Fund, AMREF and various government agencies.

The network's activities are aimed at fostering a resilient civil society response and strengthening health system capacities to meet targets.

Kindly, let's fight HIV/AIDS but not people living with it.

Exposure of anyone status is the grave crime & breach of confidentiality.
