INTRODUCING THE FAMSA HIV/AIDS TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP
On the 11th of May 2022, The Federation of African Medical Students Association officially constituted its first Technical Working Group on HIV/AIDS. 
The team comprises intelligent, competent, and highly motivated medical students across Africa. Their mission: To advocate and drive urgent action to reduce the impact of HIV. 
Across the world, Sub-saharan Africa is home to about 65% of new HIV infections annually, that is, 7 out of every 10 persons diagnosed with HIV every year will be from Sub-saharan Africa. The fight against AIDS is far from over

Together, we leave no one behind in our effort towards improvement of healthcare in Africa
