| The implementation of a successful program for reduction of HIV transmission from mother to child depends upon many factors. In our experience we can highlight a few of them that are significant within the context of northern Mozambique. Some of them are in relation to the patients’ lives, while others are related to the organisation of the services and the human resources available.

| En un an, environ 1 030 patients ont été pris en charge avec un traitement aux anti-rétroviraux (ARV) dans les différents hôpitaux centraux et provinciaux au Cameroun. A travers une mobilisation nationale, le SIDA est devenu une priorité de santé pour le gouvernement du Cameroun.

Médecins Sans Frontières (Switzerland))
Médecins Sans Frontières
| At the end of the 90’s, Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) got involved in HIV/AIDS because they viewed it as an emergency: today, MSF still believes that this is a crisis requiring an exceptional response. An analysis for the widening funding gap for HIV/AIDS treatment in sub-Saharan Africa reflects recent developments.

Marilyn McHarg
| In August 2005, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) released a report* highlighting the situation in Ituri, Democratic Republic of Congo. Despite numerous attempts on the part of MSF and other organizations to assist populations in Ituri, many civilians continue to be caught in extremely violent conditions, to experience deplorable rates of morbidity and mortality, and face unacceptably low levels of health care with negligible access to health services. The international community including donor governments, UN agencies, and NGOs, along side the national and local authorities, not to mention the militia who continue to destabilize the region with impunity, have utterly failed this group of people.

Health care for refugees: what lessons have we learned?

Doris Schopper
| For the last three decades the majority of the people fleeing war, famine and repression have been from developing countries, seeking refuge in neighbouring countries. Since the end of the cold war, the great concentrations of refugees have been found around countries in conflict such as Cambodia, Burma, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, ex-Yugoslavia, Chechenya, Afghanistan, Liberia, Somalia, Sudan, Burundi, Rwanda... the list is long. In most instances Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has supported refugees providing emergency medical care and helping in the aftermath of the crisis. Lessons we have learned are summarised in this article.

| Since 2001, Médecins sans Frontières has implemented HIV comprehensive treatment in the two main towns of Cameroon, Yaoundé and Douala, with three common general objectives: offer global medical care to positive patients, offer psycho-social environment to maximize adherence and contribute to the availability of antiretroviral treatment.

Alexandra Calmy
| Despite some differences in models used, there are a number of common grounds within MSF antiretroviral (ARV) treatment projects which can be summarised as follows: multiple entry points of care, HIV/AIDS care given through HIV clinics, free care, no direct observed therapy though prior attendance is a criteria before starting ARV treatment, and use of fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) as first-line treatment.
