Challenges To Scaling Up Antiretroviral Treatment In Africa
- David Haerry,HDN
***************************

Dear ProCAARE 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. ProCAARE 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.
