Angry members of the TAC march to Ekuruhuleni mayoral offices demanding better health services
Disgruntled members of the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) marched to the Ekurhuleni mayoral offices to hand over a memorandum demanding better health services yesterday.

TAC spokesman, Nokwezi Hoboyi said there were various clinics within Ekurhuleni struggling with shortages of the anti-retrovirals.

“In the past few months, the ARV roll-out has lost momentum, many thousands of people remain on waiting lists and most patients have CD4 counts in the region of 100 by the time they are finally initiated onto ARVs.”

She added that there was no communication from councillors and that health committees were inactive.
