Voices from Zambian communities

Experiences of HIV/AIDS-related treatment in urban and rural settings

Voices from Zambian communities – Experiences of HIV/AIDS-related treatment in urban and rural settings (English) 1.13Mb
Twenty per cent of Zambian adults are living with HIV/AIDS, but until recently very few had access to treatment because of the high cost of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs. Now the price has dropped, the treatment is being scaled up, but research is needed to make sure it is offered in ways that are practical for the people who use it.

Our Zambian country office piloted a series of consultations with individuals and community organisations, to respect their rights and abilities to respond to their own needs, to work with them to understand their priorities, and to make sure the new ARV programmes work for everyone, including marginalised groups. This publication presents results of the consultations. It includes individual case studies and a practical guide to running a consultation on HIV/AIDS-related treatment.

This shows the very good work which the alliance is doing.i for one however,recommends them to continue with this work more especially in rual districks for example Namwala were organisation like alliance are not their maybe its due to distance.We are facing a number of challenges of which due to un availability of resources these challenges remain and new ones come up which leads to work overload in trying to fight them.
May you continue this briliant work and assistance to our mother zambia.
