According to the governor Ivan Belozertsev, this sum will compliment the previously agreed 15 million rubles for countering the spread of the HIV.

During the session of the regional counter-drug committee, the head of the region pointed out that fighting the spread of the HIV, tuberculosis and drug use is interrelated, and these three threats could be countered only by joint actions of all relevant state bodies, says the press service of the Penza region government.
