Gates Award for Global Health 2003 Winner: Brazilian National AIDS Program (NAP)

Back in 1996 Brazil took the bold step of offering antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) to its citizens for free. It estimates that this caused a significant slowdown in mortality, secondary infection and hospitalization costs.
