Meerim Sarybaeva – #PutPeopleFirstEECA

Meerim Sarybaeva, UNAIDS Kyrgyzstan Country Director, discusses the significant strides Kyrgyzstan has made in HIV response, including vibrant civil society initiatives, HIV Testing and Counseling, PrEP, self-testing, peer support groups, social contracting, and service decentralization. 

However, recent political changes, growing conservatism, and shrinking civic space threaten these achievements. “Prioritizing people’s needs, protecting their health rights, and ensuring access to care is our main goal with all partners in Kyrgyzstan.”
