Hogan Calls for Regional AIDS Plan

Health Minister Barbara Hogan has called for a regional plan to deal with the HIV pandemic and tuberculosis.

Addressing more than 4 000 delegates at the fourth South African AIDS Conference last week, Hogan pointed out that it is foolish to think that South Africa could scale up prevention and treatment in isolation from its neighbouring countries.

"I hope that the post conference meeting will address the possibility of sound cross-border and regional responses to TB and HIV in conjunction with SADC (Southern African Development Community)," urged Hogan.
