At one time, Uganda had the highest HIV/AIDS rate in the world. Effective policy, adopted early in the epidemic, has seen Uganda ‘s rate drop substantially. The country now has the fourteenth highest rate in the world. This significant drop in infection rates can be attributed to commitment at all levels, including the Ugandan executive, and multi‐sectoral co‐Ordination by the Uganda Aids Commission. Such commitment must be maintained and strengthened if Uganda s rate is to drop further. Notes Professor John Rwomushana is Director‐General of the Uganda AIDS Commission, Uganda
