E-drug: Challenges to Scaling up antiretroviral treatment in Africa
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear E-Drug members,
The first pre-conference discussion leading to the upcoming
Nairobi ICASA (September 21 -26) started on the AF-AIDS forum
two weeks ago.
The current discussion is "Challenges to scaling up antiretroviral
treatment in Africa".
As this years ICASA theme is "Access to Care: Challenges", this
discussion is of particular importance. E-Drug members are
cordially invited to participate and contribute with experiences from
Africa AND other countries in the South (Brazil, Thailand, Senegal,
Nigeria, Haiti, Cuba - to mention just a few).
The discussion should be as comprehensive as possible. It should
include trade aspects, TRIPS, the role of the Global Fund,
importing and manufacturing generics, importing discounted patent
drugs, licensing, OI treatment and prevention, the role of
testing/VCT, the role of governments, the health and the private
sector etc.
