A/HRC/33/14 priority for the Ministry of Health was to ensure that there was a minimal number of deaths of persons on such therapy. The number of HIV-infected infants born to HIV-positive mothers had continued to decrease, from 16.4 per cent in 2011 to 9.17 per cent in 2014, with a target of 5 per cent in 2018. There had also been an increase in the proportion of children having access to HIV testing as early as six weeks, and the coverage rate had reached 81 per cent. The Government remained committed to financing the procurement of antiretroviral drugs, providing approximately 90 per cent of the budget for such drugs. 21. The delegation highlighted that the response of Swaziland to malaria had been very effective and that the country had been recognized for its leadership and efforts in malaria response by the African Union certification of that it was on track to eliminate malaria by 2018. Moreover, a strategic plan for the period 2015-2020 had been developed to guide the country after it achieved elimination of malaria up until certification by the World Health Organization in 2018 and beyond. The delegation noted that both the incidence and death rates from malaria in the country had dropped significantly as the country drew closer to the elimination of the disease. The delegation then provided detailed information on the main factors and government action that had contributed to that success. 22. In conclusion, the delegation stated that it continued to be committed to its international human rights obligations and was dedicated to ensuring that the human rights of its people were respected. However, the delegation noted that a shortage of personnel and financial resources hindered the compilation and analysis of data, in particular with regard to the preparation of outstanding State party reports, and acknowledged the need for technical assistance in that regard.
