Health Systems and HIV/AIDS: A Healthy Dependence
Introduction: Existing health services are failing poor people and AIDS services are no
exception. Reasons include inadequate investments in health systems, shortages
of human resources, ineffective health service delivery, and inequities in
access to health services. Given that the health sector has a central role to
play in surveillance, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS, the goals
of this session are to identify health system constraints in addressing HIV/AIDS
and to discuss solutions based on the Bank’s comparative advantage to strengthen core health system functions in an effort to scale up HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. This event was sponsored by the the Health, Nutrition and Population Sector of the Human Development Network on November 30th, 2005.
