«At least 2 million soms were budgeted for baby food, including dairy centers for children born by mothers with HIV. Deputies have cut this item, arguing that it was necessary to develop the sports and send funds to it. We are concerned. Deputies are breaking HIV / AIDS law,» Aibar Sultangaziev told.
More than 600 children with HIV are registered in Kyrgyzstan.
«More than 300 of them were infected in medical institutions in the south of the country. In theory, these children have to be provided not only with milk, but also compensation as moral damage from the state,» Aibar Sultangaziev stressed.
