Goal Six of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) specifically seeks to combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis. These are the diseases that affect some of the most vulnerable communities and poorest regions in the world. Department of Communicable Diseases, WHO/SEARO, initiated the process of capturing the real life human-interest stories of the people who are directly related with the Global Fund supported programmes in three countries, namely Bangladesh, Bhutan & Nepal. The current series, Voices From Communities: HIV, TB & Malaria, Field Experiences From Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal, emerged from this. All three countries have full-fledged national programmes under HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria and launched important initiatives to tackle these three diseases with financial support from the Global Fund for AIDS, TB & Malaria (GFATM) and the continued strategic technical assistance of the World Health Organization (WHO). The future has its challenges, but the experiences of the recent past should help Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal consolidate on the gains made and learn from success stories in the South East Asia Region.
