A new report on delivery of AIDS treatment by The International Treatment Preparedness Coalition, a group of 1,000 treatment activists from more than 125 countries, “Missing the Target #6: The HIV/AIDS Response and Health Systems: Building on success to achieve health care for all,” provides on-the-ground research to inform the debate on HIV treatment scale up and its interaction with health systems.

Argentina, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe – the countries investigated in the report – each demonstrates the complexity of the issue but all find strong positive outcomes from the intensive efforts to make AIDS services available.

As a result of all the new resources devoted to AIDS service scale up, we’re much closer today to being able to provide quality primary healthcare in communities around the world.

Our challenge now is to take advantage of what has been learned and what has been built for AIDS and make significant new investments in health services for all without abandoning the millions of people living with AIDS.
