Have some information about Nepal?

HIV/AIDS report rings alarm bell ( yearly 4700 die of the disease).
AIDS has become a major health threat in the country with 4,700 people, 229 of them below 14 years of age, dying of it every year. According to latest data made available at a recent programme, about 63,528 people across the country are HIV-positive. Among others, drug users, women sex traders and their customers, gays and migrant workers area at high risk.

Though the number of HIV patients in Nepal stands at 63,528, only 16,262 — 1,569 males and 5,693 females — have been identified so far. Unsafe intercourse is one of the causes of the disease with a recent study showing that 7,215 of the patients had contracted the disease through this medium. About 405 kids were found to have inherited the disease from their parents, the study said.

Krishna Kumar Rai, director, National AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Disease Control Centre, said prevention initiatives have not been effective for want of coordination between government bodies and NGOs. “Many organisations have been working separately in the field of HIV AIDS, it would be better if they worked jointly.’’ Of the total investment in HIV/AIDS prevention, the government investment amounts to 9 percent, while non-government organisations have invested the rest.

More than $ 10 million is spent in this field in Nepal annually. Many programmes have been organised for the prevention of the disease including Anti Retro Viral (ART) therapy. A total of 4,509 affected people are receiving treatment through 25 ART centres and 10 sub-centres. Rajiv Kafle, chairman, National Federation of HIV/AIDS, opined that some new technologies should be devised for preventing the disease.

See the effect the biggest economy.

The Biggest Airport in the World

Taken literally as the airport which takes up the most land mass, this is the King Fahd International Airport in Damman, Saudi Arabia. It takes up some 780 square kilometers - an area larger than many cities. By comparison, London Heathrow takes up around 3,000 acres, or just 4.7 square miles.

 

The Busiest Airport in the World

This depends on whether you monitor aircraft movements (the numbers of take-offs and landings), or passenger numbers. An airport such as Washington National may have relatively high aircraft movements, but as the largest aircraft it handles is a Boeing 757, it handles relatively fewer annual passengers than other airports with similar movements. Movements and passenger numbers are both acceptable methods of determining the "busiest" airport, although passenger numbers is the generally quoted figure. Most Passenger numbers Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson is the busiest airport in the world, handling 76.7 million passengers in 2002.Atlanta overtook Chicago O'Hare in 1998, and is now significantly ahead. Chicago handled 66.6 million passengers in 2002.

Busiest International Airport

London Heathrow handles the most international passengers (as opposed to passengers on domestic flights, which make up the majority of traffic at US airports). On an overall scale, Heathrow ranks third behind Atlanta and Chicago.

Busiest City (all airports)

When the flights from all airports in a city are combined, London is by farther busiest aviation center in the world.Only London, Tokyo and New York have two airports in the top 30 worldwide.

Combining New York's JFK (30 Million) and Newark (29 Million) still does not reach the same level as London Heathrow. Despite being the major international gateway for Japan, Tokyo Narita (29 Million) is overshadowed by the mainly domestic Haneda (61 Million).This puts Tokyo on a relatively even keel with Heathrow (63 Million) and Gatwick (30 Million).

When Stansted (19 Million), Luton (6.5 Million), and London City (1.5 Million) are added on top, London handles a total of almost 120 million passengers annually.
