22nd April - 31st May, 2002
(the discussion is now closed)

What are the most appropriate local health systems to deliver antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) in poor countries? Does direct observation help patients to take their drugs regularly and prevent drug resistance? Is this a feasible strategy for providing ARVs? What barriers prevent access to treatment of other chronic diseases such as TB? More information

id21 Health's email discussion provided a forum for a wide range of stakeholders to share their views on these and other important issues. Participants included international and national policy-makers, health professionals, NGOs and researchers from diverse academic disciplines. The discussion report will be presented and discussed at the International AIDS Conference in Barcelona, July 2002.
