#WorldAIDSDay 2025

Today, we join the global community to commemorate World AIDS Day, a time to honour progress, reflect on persisting challenges, and strengthen our commitment to ending HIV as a public health threat.

This year’s theme, “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response,” highlights the need for resilient, innovative, and people-centred health systems. At NCDC, we remain dedicated to supporting integrated services, reducing stigma, advancing data-driven interventions, and promoting regular testing and early treatment.

Together, we can build a future where disruptions do not slow progress and where everyone has access to the care they need to live healthy, empowered lives.

📌 Learn more about HIV/AIDS in the attached resource.

Today, we join the global community in commemorating #WorldCancerDay.

Under the 2026 campaign theme, “United by Unique,” we acknowledge that every cancer journey is different and requires empathy, understanding, and tailored support.

By strengthening prevention efforts, promoting early detection, and improving early access to quality services we can collectively reduce the burden of cancer.

Together, we can make a difference!!
