UK Consortium on AIDS & International Development (Stop AIDS Campaign), January 2007
Strengthening health systems is vital if we are to achieve Universal Access to HIV & AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support by 2010.
The UK Government was instrumental in gaining global commitment to Universal Access. Determined and continuing leadership from the UK is required to deliver on it, working with their partners in national government, other donors and the international community.
This paper makes several recommendations in the following areas: 1. Ensuring that health systems are financed sustainably over the long-term, 2. Addressing the health worker shortage by investing in and supporting systems that link public services and the community.
