Muhtar Kent is among the CEOs who signed a pledge to oppose HIV-related restrictions on entry, stay and residence, calling such laws and policies discriminatory and bad for business.
The pledge is an initiative of UNaids in partnership with GBCHealth, a coalition of companies committed to addressing global health challenges. Kent has co-chaired GBCHealth since 2009.
Michel Sidibé, executive director, UNaids, said: “There is no evidence that these restrictions protect public health. They are discriminatory and violate international human rights standards. People living with HIV should have equal access to opportunity and freedom of movement in today’s globalised world.”
