The Joint Director of Family Welfare and Immunisation Rights, Dr. Soumitra Mallick, discussed the legal aspects of the HIV/AIDS Act 2017, focusing on the rights of individuals living with HIV/AIDS. He elaborated on the significance of the Act in safeguarding these rights and the role of the media in disseminating this information to the public.
Bimbisar Bhattacharya, Director of the Information and Cultural Affairs (ICA) Department, underscored the importance of cultural sensitivity in reporting and the need for accurate information dissemination to combat myths and misconceptions about HIV/AIDS.

The interactive session saw active participation from the media representatives, who engaged in discussions and asked pertinent questions. The programme concluded with a pledge from all participants to work towards creating a more informed and supportive society for people living with HIV/AIDS.
