ARVMAC Project

Rapid scale-up of anti-retroviral therapy for HIV/AIDS

ARVMAC is a European Union (EU) funded project, coordinated by the Division of International Health at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden. Its main objective is to assess the effects of the rapid scale-up of anti-retroviral therapy for HIV/AIDS on resource-limited health systems, maternal and child morbidity and mortality in three sub-Saharan African countries. Dr. Lubega Muhamadi, Principle Medical Officer/Medical Superintendent of Iganga Hospital, Uganda and Anna Mia Ekstrom from ARVMAC discuss some of the challenges associated with expanding and implementing treatment plans and programmes without adequate investment in strengthening weak health systems.
