AIDS Treatment in Africa
Access to AIDS treatment for all has recently become a possibility worldwide. Medicines and laboratory tests are now effective and affordable. Projects have demonstrated the feasibility of treatment in resource poor settings. However, a major obstacle to treatment is the inadequate health care systems in poor countries - particularly lack of doctors, nurses, and social workers and inadequate systems of chronic care. Improvement of health care will require changes in management, aid policies, and addressing foreign debt.
