“More than 85% of people living with HIV, who need life-saving antiretroviral therapy, do not receive it. This treatment crisis calls for strengthening HIV control strategies and programmes in the Region,” said Dr Ala Alwan, WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean.
In a letter to all the Ministers of Health of Member States, Dr Alwan alerted them to the extremely low coverage of HIV treatment in the Region and informed them of the regional initiative to End the HIV Treatment Crisis. He further urged them for strong leadership and political commitment to join the initiative.
