III. Focus Country Activities

As of September 2004, 53 government and mission health facilities provide ART. It is estimated that approximately 13,555 persons currently receive ART (11,095 and 2,460 in the public and private sectors respectively).

It is paternalistic and bad development practice for an international partner to parachute into a country and begin treating its people without regard for that country’s needs, and the U.S. does not do so. The U.S. consults with host country governments and other partners to determine the appropriate role for the Emergency Plan – whether it consists of downstream support (including direct provision of ARV treatment) or upstream support (such as support for national laboratory, training and quality assurance systems). The U.S. is privileged to stand with our host nations in this fight and contribute to the overall success of their programs. ... [Read More]
