Katsina State Agency for the Control of AIDS (SACA) says the state has recorded a significant decline in HIV prevalence, particularly among pregnant women and children, following sustained interventions by the government and development partners.
The Executive Secretary of the agency, Dr Nuhu Bala Kankia, disclosed this during a one-day dissemination meeting on the Katsina State HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan (2025–2027), held in Katsina.
Kankia said available data showed encouraging progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS, attributing the improvement to increased government support, public awareness, and expanded access to prevention and treatment services.
