Myriad of AIDS teams

Myriad of AIDS teams

From Kompas

Indonesian society (including NGOs) has done much to check the
advance of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
Information has been imparted to people, including those who have
been affected by the disease.

The Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare has established
a "Technical Team for Assisting the Commission Secretary's
Activities of Curbing AIDS." Yet another team to add to the
various teams already formed.

And now a working program for curbing AIDS has been outlined
in the 12 departments and related sectors, and is being financed
by a UN developing agency. But we have not been informed of what
has actually been done and what has been achieved.

The latest team is staffed by officials committed to several
tasks. Are they going to set up more committees later?
