Malawi opened one of Africa's first modern paediatric AIDS centres on Thursday in what officials said was the first step in dealing with an epidemic that has seen many child victims die for want of treatment.
Malawi Health Minister Marjorie Ngaunje said the new Baylor College of Medicine International Paediatric AIDS Initiative would spell hope for the estimated 83,000 Malawi children now living with HIV/AIDS.
The $2.2 million centre was funded by the Abbott Fund, a charity which has committed $100 million over 5 years to address critical HIV/AIDS issues in Africa and the developing world.
