| Regional workshop on treatment
preparedness |
| |
| Announcement of a Three Day Regional workshop
on Treatment Preparedness |
| Kathmandu, Nepal; 5-9 November, 2004 |
| |
| Introduction |
| |
| A three-day regional meeting on "treatment
preparedness" is being organized by an international coalition
of HIV/AIDS organizations and individual advocates in November
2004 in Kathmandu, Nepal with support from the Tides Foundation.
This is a follow-up meeting to the International Treatment Preparedness
Summit, held in Cape Town, March 2003, which brought together
a diverse group of 125 treatment advocates from 67 countries.
The principles that were enunciated at that meeting are now
cited as the fundamental principles guiding WHO in its support
of community mobilization in scaling up to treatment and readiness
to receive it. |
| |
| "Treatment preparedness" is a term
used to describe HIV/AIDS treatment education and advocacy efforts
that are designed to increase access to and demand for HIV/AIDS
treatment and prepare communities for safe and effective use
of HIV therapies. We are using the term "HIV/AIDS treatment"
to encompass a broad range of treatment and care interventions,
including, but not limited to, treatment of opportunistic infections
and sexually transmitted infections, drug use, nutrition, TB,
palliative care, and antiretroviral therapy. |
| |
| Goal of the meeting |
| |
| The main goal of the meeting is to strengthen
a treatment advocacy movement in South Asia, which is pursuing
better and broader access to medical treatment for HIV infection
and its health consequences. This goal will be achieved through
training, sharing experiences, skill building sessions and networking
opportunities and strategic planning. |
| |
| Participants |
| |
| The Kathmandu meeting will be a gathering of
approximately 40 people. Priority will be given to the representatives
of networks of people who are living with HIV, since the success
or failure of global HIV treatment efforts depends on the cumulative
experience of the individuals needing treatment and their communities.
As the 'end-users' and the intended beneficiaries of HIV/AIDS
treatment, people living with HIV/AIDS must be able to adequately
express demand for treatment, overcome social, economic and
political barriers to treatment access, possess enough treatment
knowledge to be involved in their own health care decisions,
and be active participants in sustained long-term treatment
and care. |
| |
| People who live in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India,
Tibet, Maldives, Nepal, Bhuta, Sri Lanka and Bagladesh are invited
to apply. |
| |
| Outcomes |
| |
| The meeting will equip the participants to more
effectively engage in advocacy efforts for better and broader
access to treatment. The meeting will also be a chance for many
people working on treatment education and advocacy in the region
to meet and discuss their work and experiences and establish
broad regional network of support and collaboration. Finally,
the meeting will offer an opportunity to prioritize issues and
strategize on efforts for systemic challenges that affect treatment
advocacy and education efforts. |
