OUAGADOUGOU, Nov 30 2006 (IPS) – I think free treatment for all (HIV) infected people is indispensable, just as safeguarding the jobs of those with HIV is a must, says Issa Kindo, a public health physician in Ouagadougou, capital of Burkina Faso.
Fine words. But, what progress are authorities in this West African nation making towards achieving universal and free AIDS treatment for its citizens?

Apparently, much remains to be done: only subsidised care is available at present, even though dire poverty puts this treatment beyond the reach of many.

According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), HIV prevalence in Burkina Faso stands at 4.2 percent. Of the 700,000 people infected by the virus, about 100,000 require anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs).

But, figures from the Ministry of Health note that just 6,666 were receiving medication at the end of September 2005 (the number has risen since), up from 2,200 in December…

MANILA, Oct 2 2007 (IPS) – Lourdes Esplana-Osil has seven children, all born within a space of 12 years. Warned by her doctor of complications from repeated pregnancies, she started using injectable contraceptives provided free at a local government health centre.
But in 1998, the centre stopped providing contraceptives. Since she could not afford to buy them her husband, a pedicab (a bicycle rickshaw) driver, earns very little and because natural family planning methods failed, she had several unwanted pregnancies before she found a non-government organisation (NGO) that gave her free contraceptives.

Osil is just one of the many women residents of Manila who were deprived of access to artificial contraceptive methods when Joselito Atienza became city mayor in 1998. In line with his Roman Catholic beliefs, Atienza issued an executive order promoting responsible parenthood and upholding natural family planning methods, while discouraging artificial …

CAIRO, Oct 19 2007 (IPS) – Air pollution is so bad in Cairo that living in the sprawling city of 18 million residents is said to be akin to smoking 20 cigarettes a day. According to the World Health Organisation, the average Cairene ingests more than 20 times the acceptable level of air pollution a day.

A 2002 World Bank report estimates that pollution causes 2.42 billion dollars worth of environmental damage each year, about five percent of Egypt #39s annual gross domestic product.

NAIROBI , Jul 9 2013 (IPS) – It has been a month since the Kenyan government waived the maternity fee at public health facilities, but Millicent Awino is still one of the many expectant mothers in favour of a home birth.

“During childbirth my uterus comes out, a traditional birth attendant has the knowledge of how to push the uterus back into position, unlike at the hospital,” Awino tells IPS.

Alice Anyango, a traditional birth attendant from Nairobi’s Mathare slums, tells IPS: “The uterus should not be touched with hands as they do in hospital, hence damaging it. One should throw a pitcher of cold water at it and it will retreat back to position.”

But her treatment is not medically sound. Profess…

AMBOVOMBE, Madagascar, Jul 8 2016 (IPS) – Voahevetse Fotetse can easily pass for a three-year-old even though he is six and a pupil at Ankilimafaitsy Primary School in Ambovombe district, Androy region, one of the most severely affected by the ongoing drought in the South of Madagascar.

The school has a total population of 348 72 boys and 276 girls and they range from three to 15 years. Fewer boys stay in school as they spend most of the…
