The Nordic Africa Institute invites you to the following NAI RESEARCH FORUM
Thursday 9 September 14.15-17.00 The Power of the Pill Challenges of ARV Medicines in East Africa Cissy Kityo Mutuluuza, Rose Ochen, Betty Kyaddondo Stefan Hanson and Lisa Richey Chair: Catrine Christiansen, the Nordic Africa Institute Globalization has brought technological access to the forefront of political debates over global inequality. In high-income countries, antiretroviral treatment has become widely available, yet few of the 26.6 million people with HIV/AIDS in Africa are benefiting from antiretroviral drugs. Today, efforts to �scale up� Anti-Retro-Viral (ARV) medicine distribution in poor countries are proliferating. Yet as ARVs become more widely available, new issues arise. How can equitable access be ensured? Will the focus on treatment undermine prevention? What broader care and support do people on ARVs need? What will the influx of resources for ARV treatment mean for public health services? This seminar brings together researchers and practitioners from Uganda, Sweden, and Denmark to discuss the questions related to access and in/exclusion in light of the current HIV/AIDS situation in Uganda and Tanzania.
