Access to antiretrovirals is limited by the capacity in some countries for testing equipment, chemicals, and laboratory reagents— a chain that is far more complex than that for antiretrovirals. Scaling up antiretroviral treatment programs requires a systematic analysis of the supply chains for antiretrovirals and other goods related to HIV/AIDS.Text1 digital file (52 p. : ill.)enHIVAIDSANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPYACCESS TO HEALTH CARESUPPLY AND DEMANDGLOBAL HEALTHEPIDEMIOLOGYPANDEMICSUPPLY CHAINMEDICAL SUPPLIESSOUTH OF SAHARATRANSPORTHEALTH FINANCINGIncreasing patient access to antiretrovirals : recommended actions for a more efficient global supply chain; a background paper prepared for the HIV/AIDS Monitor at the Center for Global DevelopmentWorking Paper
