Doctors Without Borders Warns that up to 15,000 AIDS Victims in Congo May Die Within 3 Years

Voice of America: Thousands of AIDS Victims Face Death in Congo:

A medical aid group has warned that up to 15,000 AIDS victims in Democratic Republic of Congo could die in the next three years because of difficulty getting life-saving drugs.

The warning comes from Doctors Without Borders, which says access to health care for HIV and AIDS patients in Congo is “horrific.” It says 85 percent of an estimated 350,000 people who could benefit from antiretroviral drugs are not receiving them. . . .
