April 26 marked the launch of the new ITPC report Missing the Target #8, Rationing Funds, Risking Lives: World Backtrack on HIV Treatment. The report brings together research from six countries -- India, Kenya, Latvia, Malawi, Swaziland and Venezuela --and documents early warning signs resulting from the global pullback on AIDS commitment and funding, caps on the number of people enrolled in treatment programs, more frequent drug stock outs and national AIDS budgets failing short.
ITPC will continue to support the six country teams to pursue their advocacy. We would appreciate your assistance in circulating the press release to media contacts and helping promote the report on your websites and list servs as well as sharing with representatives from governments, international agencies and donors.
