We See People Struggling To Continue HIV Treatment
- 8 years ago
Although antiretroviral (ARV) drugs in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are supposed to be free, patients have to pay for tests and consultations. For most people, these costs are unaffordable. To survive, Claudine in Kinshasa has to beg her friends for ARV pills.
The fight against HIV/AIDS has been hailed as one of the most successful public health projects in human history, but Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) medical teams that support HIV treatment for more than 280,000 people in 21 countries, see the revolution as unfulfilled for millions of people excluded from treatment.
The See What We See films reveal what MSF medical staff witness and also highlight proven strategies for community-based care that puts more people on treatment earlier and helps them adhere to treatment in the long-term. Go to See.MSF.org to learn more.
