Roadmap for faith-based organizations to expand access to HIV treatment

published on February 27, 2014 in UNAIDS

Churches and other faith-based organizations are the largest single group providing health care services for HIV—contributing up to 50% of facility-based and community care in some countries.

In order to develop a roadmap to increase faith-based groups’ work in providing life-saving HIV treatment, Caritas Internationalis and UNAIDS co-organized a consultation from 25-26 February in Rome.

Progress made to date; the hope that the end of the AIDS epidemic may be possible by ensuring both the dignity of the person and access to services for all; and the commitment and urgency to act were common themes throughout the meeting.
