'AHF/India Cares' Provides Second-line AIDS Drugs to Activists in India
Date:11/6/2007

hat AHF/India Cares has been able to provide these few patients with access to much-needed second-line treatment, but extremely saddened that the need in India is so much greater than we, or any one NGO care provider, could possibly meet," said Chinkholal Thangsing, M.D., Asia Pacific Bureau Chief for the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, and who is based in New Delhi.

Positive people throughout India look to NACO to start delivery of such lifesaving second-line treatments urgently."

"AIDS Healthcare Foundation stands in solidarity with the advocates and people of India in urging NACO to launch the provision of second-line therapies immediately," said Terri Ford, AHF Director of Global Advocacy. "In our own clinic in N
