NACP- I

The objectives of NACP-I were:

• To control the spread of HIV infection
• To expand infrastructure of blood banks
• To develop infrastructure for the treatment of STDs in district hospitals and medical colleges
• To initiate HIV sentinel surveillance system
• To involve NGOs in prevention interventions with the focus on awareness generation

This programme led to the capacity-development at the state level with the creation of State AIDS Cells in the Directorate of Health Services in states and union territories.
