Brazilians to Get 1.2 Bi Free Condoms from Government in 2009, a World Record
Written by Newsroom
Friday, 26 December 2008
The Ministry of Health of Brazil announced that it will purchase 1.2 billion condoms next year for the country's national program against AIDS, according to Brazilian media reports.
The ministry informed that it would be "the largest purchase of condoms in world history." Last year, Brazil's Health Ministry bought 406 million condoms.
Brazil, Latin America's most populated country has an estimated population of 190 million, many of them devout Catholics. The condoms program is based on United Nations recommendations.
The first batch of condoms will be delivered in February and passed on to government health institutions and educational facilities in the largest cities throughout the country.
The ministry said condoms are to be distributed free of charge. Some of them will also be made available in tourist areas during the annual Carnaval in February, one of the world's largest people's celebration.
According to UN figures, there are over 33 million AIDS-infected people in the world with 1.6 million in Latin America, half of them in Brazil. Mexico is a distant second, with 200,000 AIDS-infected people reported among its population of 108 million.
Another WORLD RECORD....BRAZILIAN LIE ! written by ch.c.,
December 27, 2008
iN 2005...Brazil Government announced with BIG FANFARE the purchase of 1 billion condoms...A WORLD RECORD ! IN 2006...Brazil Government announced with BIG FANFARE the purchase of 1,5 billion condoms...A WORLD RECORD !
Of course and as usual, the government insisted they BOUGHT AND GAVE FREE these condoms.
Then the person in charge of the program said...NO WAY....BRAZIL COULD PRODUCE SUCH QUANTITY...AND THE GIVEN QUANTITY COULD ONLY BE AROUND 500 MILLIONS !!!!!
Somewhat proven in the article stating " Last year, Brazil's Health Ministry bought 406 million condoms." 500 millions was already an over generous estimate.
And now Brazil Government is WITH BIG FANFARE AGAIN going to buy 1,2 billion condoms, when the GOVERNMENT production capacity is ONE THIRD !!!!!!
Welll....this reminds me that......cheaters always cheat, liars always lie, and hider always hide. And it also reminds me......NEVER EVER TRUST A BRAZILIAN !!!!!
Brazil received a huge boost in its international image with its selection as the host of the 2016 Olympics, but it was really just the cherry on top of the overall recognition of the country's ascension to the ranks of one of the world's most important countries. Now, as it finally takes its place on the world scene, there has been a great deal of concern about what kind of image Brazil hopes to project, now that the world is really paying attention.
The only good thing to say about the visit to Brazil of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on Monday November 23, is that it was mercifully short and lasted less than 24 hours. Ahmadinejad had his picture taken being hugged by president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva who gave him a warm welcome and said Iran had every right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
The small, coastal town of Condé is located just a twenty minute's drive from João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba. The Northeast of Brazil has historically been a place of encounter and mixing between peoples. For millenia groups of indigenous people fished, farmed, migrated and sometimes fought along this large, fertile area.
The Brazilian diplo-MÁ-cia (bad diplomacy) carries on its accelerated course towards the non-acknowledgment of human rights, although sometimes it takes pleasure in saying that it does precisely the opposite. The visit of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another example of a diplomatic omission that verges on hypocrisy.
On July 4, 2006, representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay met in Caracas to sign the protocol for the entrance of Venezuela into the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). After two and a half years, the protocol was approved by the legislative bodies of Argentina and Uruguay, and as of now it may be only days away from being ratified by the continent's economic megalith, Brazil.
Some sectors of the fight against AIDS have suggested that Thabo Mbeki, the former president of South Africa, committed genocide through his absence from the fight against the illness in his country throughout his two terms.
One hundred and eleven years after Brazil abolished slavery, the number of workers deprived of their freedom is still huge. They raise cattle, produce charcoal, sugar cane or timber. Some of them, most undocumented Bolivians, work in basements of small apparel factories in São Paulo and other metropolis.
On November 7, 2009 a few friends and I had an opportunity to take a look inside a Brazilian jail outside the city of Rio de Janeiro. We were able to take some amateur footage of our experience on video (see link below). It's no surprise, of course, that the typical Brazilian jail lacks some of the functionality of those in North America or Europe, but our experience that day was quite shocking.
Depletion of the Amazon Rainforest is not a new concern facing environmentalists, biologists, ecologists, and a growing number of the Amazonian indigenous peoples. For decades they have feared for the fate of the world's most biologically diverse and species-rich hothouse.
Geisy Arruda made history this week in Brazil, but for all the wrong reasons. What began as a poorly planned fashion statement has become a worldwide tale. Geisy decided to wear a pink mini-dress to her private college in São Paulo state, and after that, all hell broke loose.
