Guardian Examines Program In Katine To Provide Food To Patients On ARVs - Monday, December 14, 2009 |
The Guardian examines a program in Katine, Uganda, that is providing food rations to patients living with HIV/AIDS who take antiretrovirals (ARVs). The U.S.-based NGO ACDI/VOCA "supplies food to people in need for a year to give them enough energy to work and earn money to support themselves," according to the newspaper. The article includes information about the challenges associated with taking ARVs without a steady food source, and how a growing number of patients enrolling in the program combined with rising food costs is challenging the reach of the program (Malinga, 12/11).
