Summary A news item on the Health Systems Trust website dated 19 December 2003 observed that 'despite the government's decision to roll out the provision of ARVs, a lack of planning has meant temporary [drug] shortages - and could presage future crises if problems are not dealt with. An interruption in ARV treatment could have serious health consequences for people on a programme of treatment. Inconsistent supply of ARVs could kill [patients] sooner than the disease itself.'
