The roll-out of Antiretroviral (ARV) treatment and the contribution of Family Medicine - let's take up the gauntlet.
Abstract
On the 8th August 2003, the South African Cabinet announced their commitment to antiretroviral treatment. They expect a plan to implement antiretroviral therapy throughout the country to be ready by the end of September 2003. A national task team was given a number of issues to take into consideration: the roll out should be within the District Health System; staffing, drug supplies and laboratory services should be improved; and academic institutions should be involved.
