These diseases can be conquered with the proper medications. By collaborating with the Cry for the World Foundation, and the Pharmaceutical Programme we can provide medications and vaccines for children in developing countries. g) AIDS: 40 million people worldwide are infected with HIV, resulting in a large orphan population.
