Summary This report is a synthesis of insights from presentations, discussions and workshops at the conference Implementing the Comprehensive Care and Treatment Programme for HIV and AIDS patients in the Free State: Sharing experiences. Held at the University of the Free State, South Africa, from 30 March 1 April 2005, the conference provided an opportunity to share the early experiences of the Free State Department of Health in expanding antiretroviral treatment (ART) in the province. The conference provided the first public forum where parties from a range of backgrounds were able to come together and openly discuss ART initiatives within the context of the broader South African health system.
More Details

This report is divided into four main sections: the national and provincial context within which ART efforts occur the process of implementation the resources required as inputs to the programme and the impacts of the programme. The report targets four specific user-groups: policy-makers and planners, health workers, researchers, and civil society. Each section of the report concludes with a series of recommendations for policy-makers and planners, researchers, health workers and civil society groups which emerged from the conference
